Gravesend, Kent, United Kingdom Kent County Council Full time

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced social worker to join our community teams across Kent. As an Experienced Social Care Practitioner, you will work with adults with a range of care and support needs, placing individuals at the centre of their support.

You will undertake work of varying levels of complexity, including Care Act Assessments, Mental Capacity Act (MCA) Assessments, Court of Protection applications, and s42 safeguarding enquiries.

Our social care interventions are structured around the three pillars of excellent practice, exceptional innovation, and meaningful measures. You will engage with communities early on to help people feel empowered to find trusted help and support locally from a range of sources.

About You

We welcome applications from experienced social workers who can demonstrate post-qualification experience in Social Services, Health-related agencies, or related private or voluntary organisations.

You will hold a registration with Social Work England and be competent to work at the Experienced Practitioner level of the Social Care Capabilities Framework for Registered Workers.

You will have experience of managing and reducing risk and completing safeguarding enquiries. You will also be able to demonstrate experience in supervising other members of staff.

Our Support Offer

In return, we offer an attractive benefits package and a commitment to ensuring that you achieve a healthy work-life balance and opportunities for flexible working arrangements that meet business needs.

We offer generous market premium payments (subject to eligibility). You will also be entitled to a generous annual leave allowance and the local government pension scheme.

You will have excellent opportunities for professional development with access to our social care academy, progression routes, and our newly launched practice framework.

We will support you to consolidate your skills and knowledge, assisting you to develop areas of specialist practice development such as Approved Mental Health Professional Training, Best Interest Assessor Training, and Practice Educator training.

You will receive regular professional supervision and have the opportunity to critically reflect on your practice. You will be supported to develop your practice and progress your career.

This post is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure application to the Disclosure and Barring service and registration as a qualified Social Worker with Social Work England.

This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position. The Council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) to ensure that post-holders have a command of spoken English/Welsh sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements.
