Safeguarding: Actively embed the 'Making Safeguarding Personal' ethos, undertaking investigations and managing risks positively to protect vulnerable adults
Collaboration: Work effectively with multi-agency partners and other professionals to ensure holistic care
Professionalism: Maintain high-quality data records, provide written reports for court proceedings when required, and participate in regular reflective supervision
Community Connection: Develop deep links within the local community to help individuals access universal and non-care services
Requirements
Qualified Social Worker: You must be registered with Social Work England (formerly HCPC) and maintain an up-to-date record of professional development
Experienced Practitioner: Ability to manage complex caseloads and provide support/guidance to less experienced staff
Outcome-Focused: A commitment to strengths-based practice and the ability to adapt to changes in legislation and Council policy
Strong Communicator: Excellent report-writing skills and the ability to represent the service confidently in professional and legal settings
