  • Screen incoming safeguarding referrals, gather and analyse information from various sources (MDTs, Police, Health), and make professional decisions regarding the appropriate pathway for intervention
  • Expertly apply the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA), including undertaking comprehensive capacity assessments and Best Interest Decisions for adults who lack capacity regarding safeguarding or care matters
  • Develop, implement, and review personalised care and support plans to meet assessed needs and reduce the likelihood of future harm
  • Collaborate effectively within the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) or community teams, chairing and attending strategy meetings, and ensuring a co-ordinated, effective multi-agency response
  • Prepare and present professional evidence and documentation for the Court of Protection where necessary to protect an adult's best interests
  • Maintain clear, concise, and defensible case records on the electronic system, ensuring compliance with statutory and local policies

Requirements:

  • A recognised Degree/Diploma in Social Work (or equivalent)
  • Current and valid registration with Social Work England (SWE)
  • Significant post-qualifying experience (minimum 2+ years typically required) within an Adult Social Care setting, with a substantial focus on statutory adult safeguarding
  • Expert working knowledge and practical application of the Care Act 2014, the Mental Capacity Act 2005, and local safeguarding adults procedures
  • Proven ability to manage a complex and highly pressurised caseload autonomously, demonstrating excellent analytical, communication, and decision-making skills
  • Ability to travel effectively across the Manchester area to conduct visits, attend meetings, and support enquiries
