Job Description:At Swindon Borough Council, we are bold and ambitious in our plans, with a clear vision and direction for the future. Our status as one of the UK's fastest growing towns is driving transformational change across our organisation, most significantly within our highly valued Adults' Services teams.
We've already taken huge strides forward with our journey for an integrated approach to children's health, education support and social care and now we're ready to move on to the next stage in our development. As we move forward, it is vital that everything we do and every service we provide is delivered in a robust way and is in line with national standards and protocols.
Introduce the team
The Learning Disabilities Team support people to meet their needs, to live as independently as they can and to live a good life. We work with multi-disciplinary teams, including the Integrated Care Board to meet those needs holistically.
The team focuses on promoting the rights of individuals to be able to make choices and decisions for themselves and use the Mental Capacity act to guide these where required.
The team has a range of practitioners including Assistant Care Managers, Social Workers, Experienced Social Workers, Advanced Social Workers and Link Workers. Our Link workers support the main Care Management functions of the other roles, and support the people we work with to source services and activities in the community.
While the work can be challenging the team are very supportive of each other and fun to be around. We have a passion and commitment to support the people we work with.
Your next role
As an Experienced Social Worker in the Learning Disability Team, you will be joining a friendly, supportive and dynamic team. This role will see you working closely with the residents of Swindon and their families as well as a number of professionals including health, provider services, safeguarding and mental health colleagues.
Offering a greater level of experience in working with those who have learning disability, you'll manage a caseload and be responsible for completing Care Act Assessments, reviews and proportionate support planning which may include Mental Capacity Assessments and Best Interest Decisions as well as other tasks. You'll offer support to your colleagues by providing supervision in the team, managing safeguarding enquiries, and taking part in the duty rota.
Consistent and regular monthly supervision will be provided to you with access to support from the Advanced Social Workers, Assistant Team Manager, Team Manager and the wider team.
You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act "for the effective performance of a customer-facing role").
Our transformation journey
Like all other local authorities, we are experiencing an increase in demand. As an organisation we know our Adults' Services are on a rapid improvement journey which is why last year we started making big changes across the service to provide the best care for children and great conditions for our staff. This started with us recruiting an entirely new leadership team of experienced, forward thinking managers who are driving changes in the service and we aim to be one of the best Adults' Services in the country.
Our Adult Practitioners' induction
A practitioner-specific, Swindon-specific induction programme, aimed at providing you with the information you need regarding the policies and procedures of Adult Social Care at Swindon Borough Council.
The induction programme incorporates a blend of face-to-face activities and e-learning modules aimed at consolidating and reviewing your knowledge of the key areas.
These key areas include:
- understanding how to use our case management system
- understanding the Safeguarding and Quality Assurance policies and procedures
- understanding and using a strength-based approach
Improvements include:
- Multi-million pound investment in staff and support
- Significant restructure creating smaller social worker teams
- New intuitive IT system to cut down on desk time and make mobile working the norm
- High standards for management practice, support and supervision for staff
- Listening to our social workers by holding regular social work forums
- Implemented Liquid Logic from October 2023.
At the heart of it all is our desire to promote and cultivate a strong learning culture combined with outstanding leadership and supervision. Here is what you can expect to find when you arrive:
- Early help and community health practitioners co-located with our social workers, providing great working relationships
- Fantastic relationships with partner agencies such as the police and Swindon CCG
- Teams located within communities, providing a closer connection to the people we work with
