Eastbourne, United Kingdom East Sussex County Council Full time

Job Introduction
Do you want to support vulnerable adults and strengthen your networks as well as enhancing your skills? If so, join us

At East Sussex County Council, we have a deep commitment to empowering vulnerable adults. Our aim is to maximise their independence and help them play a full part in the decisions that affect them. Joining our Adult Social Care Mental Health Emergency Duty Service is a chance to change your world and theirs. You will be supported by a team that cares for you just as much as it cares for our community.

Unlike most Social Worker roles, you will not have an ongoing caseload as the work involves short term emergency interventions. Your working pattern will be made up of a combination of evenings, weekends, bank holidays and waking nights, across 9 shifts in a month (on average).

The team is made up of experienced and skilled senior social workers who are confident working independently and comfortable making risk-based decisions. We offer a comprehensive induction process with ongoing support, which consists of regular team meetings and supervision from the teams Practice Manager.

The role requires travelling around the county but there are opportunities to work from home, between call outs, if you live within East Sussex.

In addition to the single salary grade, you will receive additional payments for all unsocial hours and bank holidays worked. A market supplement for being a qualified Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP), and a further payment per assessment, creating an annual salary in the region of £60,000.

You will be registered with Social Work England, have experience working directly with vulnerable adults and their families, including an appreciation of systemic approaches. Knowledge of safeguarding, criminal justice, housing, and support for substance and domestic abuse is vital. Be a confident decision-maker and manage your workload independently.

Interviews will take place **Friday 14 July** via Microsoft Teams unless you request an in-person interview. If you are unavailable to attend the allocated interview date/time, let us know and we may be able to schedule an alternative date/time for you.

There are many rewards working for East Sussex County Council, some of these include:

- Generous pension scheme
- Hybrid working
- Access to training
- Access to our extensive well being and wellness training
- Annual registration fee with Social Worker England will be reimbursed
