Social Worker

2 weeks ago

Kingswood BS TR, United Kingdom South Gloucestershire Council Full time £30,000 - £50,000 per year

How you'll make a difference:

Working within an integrated mental health team as an Approved Mental Health Practitioner, you will provide effective interventions for people with severe and enduring mental health needs and those in their networks. Your work helps enable them to meet daily health, social care and wellbeing needs in line with their personal recovery goals.

What you will be doing:

  • Under the overarching framework of 'Your Team, Your Conversation, Your Plan', you will work with agencies and services within an integrated health and social care model as a key worker for service users. In line with best practice legislation, policy and guidance, you will promote users wellbeing and dignity.
  • Delivering genuine people centred, strengths based support for service users, you will implement, review and monitor actions and outcomes in line with their individual care plan, making amendments as the needs of the individual change and evolve.
  • Regularly, you will be working with people who may require social care services, their families and carers to ensure independence is maintained as much as possible and outcomes are clear, monitored and reviewed.
  • You may be required to prepare social circumstances reports for the Metal Health Review tribunal and attend tribunal hearings.
  • It will be your responsibility to keep relevant records and client record systems up to date.
  • If needed, you might undertake student supervision for social work students.

What we need from you:

  • We require you to hold a degree in social work, with relevant registration to practice and current relevant registration with Social Work England and commitment to CPD. You must also be AMHP qualified.
  • It is essential that you have substantial post-qualification experience, ideally working in mental health services and the ability to articulate a detailed understanding of the relevant legal frameworks/legislation such as the Mental Health Act, Mental Capacity Act, and safeguarding.
  • You will demonstrate a developed understanding of the Recovery principles and the role of secondary mental health services in the delivery of care, with experience of undertaking carers' assessments, assessing risk and developing risk management strategies.
  • Given the nature of the role, you will have strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to engage effectively with people at all levels, even when a more assertive approach is needed. This also includes highly developed active listening skills, which allows for reframing and testing of understanding.
  • It would be desirable to have relevant post-registration qualifications such as BIA, CBT, AMHP and Brief Interventions, and familiarity with the 'Your Team, Your Conversation, Your Plan' process, although training will be provided.

What you need to know:

  • Salaries pro-rated to hours worked.
  • Please note that due to the nature of this role it is a requirement of employment that an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is obtained for this post.
  • You will be expected to travel throughout the authority and surrounding area so you must have a full, valid driving licence with regular access to a vehicle or have an alternative means of travel.

Interviews anticipated week commencing 5th November 2025.

How a career at South Gloucestershire Council is different:

  • We invest in the careers of our people and we are recognised for the quality, breadth and depth of our training and developmentoffer, which helps our people make the greatest long-term difference in their work.
  • As part of our benefits package you will receive generous annual leave (pro rata), employee wellbeing support and you will have access to a range of staff discounts, including eye tests, travel, shopping and leisure activities.
  • We recognise that our diverse team of skilled and dedicated people make us a great place to work. We welcome applications from everyone and ensure that individuals are selected, promoted and developed on the basis of their merits and abilities.

Our teams at South Gloucestershire Council are making a real difference to the lives of people who live, work and learn here.
