About Us
Do you want to help us radically change the way we deliver social care?
Join Oxfordshire County Council on an exciting journey towards Delivering the Future Together , our ambitious transformation programme which is enabling us to be an employer, partner, and place shaper of choice. We're seeking the right people who can help us get there while embracing our value of ' daring to do it differently' , as we continue to strive to do better.
This means we keep the people we support at the heart of all that we do. And that works. By listening to people and building on the positives in their lives, we can work collaboratively to help them live the lives they want with the right support around them.
It is something we call the Oxfordshire Way and we can't do it alone - our proactive, positive approach to social care gives everyone the opportunity to make a bigger difference. If we're doing a good job, we don't stand still - we're ambitious and we're always striving to do better; it's in our DNA.
About the Role
We're transforming the way we help our social workers support our communities to get the best outcomes possible for each and every person we work with. We do this through our commitment of strengthened supervision, ongoing professional training and manageable caseloads, so that you can bring your best self to the people you work with. We are looking for social workers in our Safeguarding Adults Team who are committed to working with people in a way that not only makes safeguarding personal but which makes safeguarding meaningful.
You will be part of a team that triages safeguarding concerns, ensuring Making Safeguarding Personal and Safeguarding Principles are maintained and that the adult is centre to all that you do.
Professional curiosity is key; the role requires you to undertake safeguarding enquires, whilst maintaining people's choice and control, empowering adults within a risk enablement and strengths-based approach.
We continue to be a financially stable local authority and our investment in Adult Services has created a number of vacancies
About you
To take on this exciting role you must hold a professional Social Work qualification and have maintained professional registration with Social Work England along with some post qualifying practice experience.
You will have a thorough understanding/ knowledge/experience of working within the adult safeguarding arena, including S42 enquires, MSP and the Care Act (2014).
Coupled with this you will need to be:
- Empowering - communication through difficult conversations is key to the role.
- Confident - your decision making whilst working within risk enablement must be sound.
- Organised - this is a pressurised, fast paced environment with complex and changing priorities.
Rewards and benefits
- Up to 33 day's holiday p.a. plus bank holidays - Option to 'buy' additional days
- Membership of the Local Government contributory pension scheme, employer's contribution of up to 19.9%
- Relocation package up to a maximum of £8,000 to cover reimbursement of expenses for newly appointed employees (conditions apply in line with council policy)
- Regular monthly formal and informal support and supervision
- Local and national discounts for shopping and travel
- Extensive Continuous Professional Development opportunities, career progression scheme including the opportunity to train as a Practice Educator, Best Interest Assessor or Adult Mental Health Practitioner.
