Job search

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. You will consider the person’s wellbeing, independence, risks and preferences, ensuring that their voice remains central to all decisions. 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 will maintain accurate, timely case records, complete financial assessments or liaise with relevant colleagues, and ensure that decisions are evidence-based, lawful and clearly documented.

Working in partnership with health professionals, providers, voluntary organisations and other agencies, you will contribute to effective multi-disciplinary approaches and promote positive outcomes. You will manage a varied caseload, prioritising work according to risk and presenting need, while meeting statutory and service deadlines.

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.
