The Team
We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Social Worker to join our Countywide Enhanced Support In Reach Team.
The team comprises Social Workers, an Occupational Therapist and Behaviour Advisors. We work alongside people with a complexity of needs related to their Learning Disability/Autism, Mental or Physical Health or a combination of all the above. The role works closely with health partners in inpatient settings, to identify opportunities for people to leave hospital. In addition to this, we work together to support people in the community to sustain their placement in residential or supported living. The role requires close partnership working with a range of partners, including health and the Court of Protection.
We are looking for a social worker who would like the opportunity to work in a team where the focus is on relationship-based work and building independence through a positive approach to risk and the strengths-based model; supporting people through case management and developing discharge pathways out of hospital. We are taking a systemic approach to underpin our work and provide regular opportunities to reflect on practice, providing an environment where professional curiosity and creative solutions are encouraged.
What our team say about their experience since joining Essex:
Andy, Social Worker – “I feel genuinely supported in the team and happy to support others with my own knowledge and experience. I think Essex offer an excellent and wide variety of training, both online and in person to support my continuous professional development.”
Alice, Occupational Therapist - “I love the professional curiosity and the cohesiveness of the team that allows me as an Occupational Therapist to work collaboratively in an environment, where each individual profession is valued for their contribution.”
This role sits within our Countywide team and can be based any of our Essex quadrants for administrative purposes, with hot desking opportunities across the whole of Essex, including health buildings. Countywide travel is required as part of this role. Flexible working patterns including condensed working over 4 days can be considered.
About Us
At Essex County Council Adult Services our mission is clear. We want to make the best and most sustainable use of all resources available to the adult, their families, and carers. To ensure they have access to information and tools to enable them to live healthily and independently for as long as possible, and to exercise choice and control over their lives. And to ensure the safety, dignity, and quality of life for all the adults we work with. To make sure we achieve our goals, we’ve transformed our service to be far more proactive. Moving from focusing on long-term care and support, our new model is centred on four key principles - prevention, early intervention, enablement, and safeguarding. We’re very proud of our service and the work we’re doing with all our partners to build community capacity and resilience.
