Adult's SW - Community Team - Merton
We are seeking a qualified Adult Social Worker to join a community-based team supporting adults to live as independently, safely and meaningfully as possible. You will work with individuals, families, carers and partner agencies to assess needs, identify strengths and outcomes, and coordinate proportionate support. The role involves managing a varied caseload, including people with physical disabilities, sensory impairments, mental health needs, learning disabilities, long-term conditions and other complex circumstances.
Your responsibilities will include completing comprehensive, person-centred assessments; developing, reviewing and ending care and support plans; undertaking safeguarding enquiries; and applying relevant legislation, policies and professional standards. You will promote choice, wellbeing, independence and least restrictive practice while ensuring that risk is identified and managed appropriately. You will work collaboratively with health professionals, housing providers, voluntary organisations, care agencies and other services, contributing to effective multidisciplinary planning and transitions. The role may also involve arranging services, monitoring outcomes, completing financial assessments or liaising with colleagues responsible for funding and commissioning.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with the appropriate professional regulator. You should have experience of adult social care, statutory assessment and care planning, with a sound understanding of safeguarding, mental capacity, best-interest decision-making and relevant social care legislation. Strong communication, recording, organisation and analytical skills are essential, together with the ability to manage competing priorities and make defensible professional decisions. We are looking for a compassionate, resilient and reflective practitioner who can build trusting relationships, work confidently with people from diverse backgrounds and contribute positively to a supportive team. A commitment to continued professional development and improving outcomes for adults and carers is expected.
