Job summary

We are looking for forward thinking, innovative, creative, compassionate and reflective senior social workers, who will be able to offer a wide range of interventions in busy and challenging environments.

You will be managing a caseload of patients in a person-centred way to plan, deliver and evaluate care, whilst being supported by a well-resourced multidisciplinary team (MDT).

As part of the MDT you will ensure that the social perspective is at the forefront of the patients care. You will apply social work values and methods to help ensure that there is a holistic approach to patients care.
