Chippenham, Wiltshire, United Kingdom Wiltshire Council Full time

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Social Worker to join our dynamic Adult Community North team. As a crucial member of our team, you will collaborate with individuals, families, and caregivers, conduct Care Act 2014 assessments, evaluate needs, and manage both short-term and long-term cases.

Main Duties of the Job

You will work in a supportive environment, committed to professional and career development, providing monthly supervision and offering flexible working arrangements. You will be responsible for advancing safeguarding inquiries, handling Court of Protection matters, and maintaining close collaboration with healthcare and multidisciplinary professionals.

About Us

Wiltshire Council is a friendly, welcoming place to work, with a 'One Council' ethos. We focus on getting the things that matter to our people right. We are firmly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults and to the principles of inclusion and diversity in both employment and the delivery of services.

Job Responsibilities

You will practice in accordance with and uphold the Standards of Professional Practice for social workers as defined by the Health and Care Professions Council, which includes the code of ethics and the continuing professional development requirements in order to maintain registration as a social worker to be able to work in England.

You will practice in accordance with the Professional Capabilities Framework for Social Workers (the national occupational standards for the profession) at the level of Experienced Social Worker.

Practitioners working in line with the Experienced Social Worker level of the Professional Capabilities Framework (PCF) are more autonomous in their role than at lower levels of the PCF. They are expected to demonstrate expert and effective practice in complex situations, assessing and managing higher levels of risk, striking a balance between support and control, liaising with a wide range of professionals, including more senior levels.

They manage complex caseloads, and offer expert opinion within the organisation and to others.

They chair a range of meetings, offer expert support to case conferences, and produce high-quality assessments and reports for a range of functions.

They model good practice, setting expectations for others. They start to take responsibility and be accountable for the practice of others, mentoring newly qualified social workers, and supervising the work of junior staff.

They undertake capacity-building with individuals, families, communities, user groups, and voluntary organisations, and contribute their views on service provision to commissioners.
