Using a strengths-based approach you will facilitate the provision of information, advice and assistance and access to universal services. You will ensure equity of access to tailored short-term enabling care and support for adults affected by disability and ageing. This service focuses on 'What matters' to individuals and carers, maximising individual potential and minimising risk to independence, with an emphasis on voice and control.
As a senior practitioner you will assume a leadership role, contributing to the overall effectiveness of the Early Intervention & Prevention Hub. Responsibilities will include:
Providing guidance, support and leadership to the social work team, ensuring effective collaboration and adherence to best practices.
Supervision of Social Workers providing guidance, support, and mentoring to enhance their professional development.
Holding a small caseload of complex cases which require advanced social work skills.
Development work and research that will contribute to the overall development of the team.
Performance management and quality assurance ensuring best practice, evidence-based decisions, adherence to legislation and BCBC processes.
Collaboration with health professionals and partner agencies.
- Deputising in the absence of Team Manager.
In return we offer a supportive environment, regular supervision, appraisals, training and development opportunities.
The ability to greet customers through the medium of Welsh is a requirement for this post.
Protecting children, young people or adults at risk is a core responsibility of all council employees.
An Enhanced with Adults Barred list criminal records check by the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) is a requirement for this post.
The council's Hybrid Working Policy applies to this post. This provides a framework for establishing how you will undertake working hours between your home and the office.
