About the Role

As a Social Worker in our Adult Social Care team, you will work with vulnerable adults and their families to provide support and guidance. You will assess risk and develop purposeful interventions to help individuals live independently.

You will be part of a multi-disciplinary team, sharing your knowledge and expertise to provide specialist advice and guidance. Your caseload will include complex and challenging adult cases, requiring a high level of skill and expertise.

We are looking for a qualified Social Worker with a current Social Work England registration and at least 1 year's social work experience. You will have a comprehensive understanding of current legislation, regulations, and guidance, as well as experience of chairing meetings and developing strong relationships with partner agencies and the local community.

We offer a range of benefits, including flexible working options, employee wellbeing and counselling, and a lease car scheme. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults and expect all employees and volunteers to share this commitment.
