We are seeking a qualified Social Worker to join an Assessment Team, supporting adults, their families and carers to achieve safe, personalised and sustainable outcomes. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by completing high-quality assessments, identifying strengths and needs, and helping people access the right support at the right time.

You will undertake proportionate Care Act assessments, reviews and reassessments, working collaboratively with individuals to develop outcome-focused care and support plans.

Where appropriate, you will arrange services, signpost to community resources and support people to maximise their independence.

The role involves responding to safeguarding concerns, undertaking enquiries where required and applying the principles of the Mental Capacity Act, including best-interest decision-making.

You must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. We are looking for someone with sound knowledge of adult social care legislation, safeguarding practice and strengths-based approaches, together with experience of assessment, care planning and professional decision-making. You will need excellent communication, analytical and organisational skills, as well as the confidence to work with people in complex or challenging circumstances.

In return, you will join a supportive professional environment offering regular supervision, opportunities for development and the chance to contribute to continuous improvement. If you are committed, compassionate and focused on delivering respectful, person-centred practice, we would welcome your application.
