Adult's SW - Community Team - Sefton
An opportunity is available for a qualified Adult Social Worker to join a busy Community Team supporting adults to live safely, independently and with greater choice in their own homes and communities. You will manage a varied caseload, completing proportionate Care Act assessments, reviews and support planning for people with a range of needs, including physical disabilities, mental health conditions, sensory impairments, learning disabilities and age-related support requirements.
You will work in a strengths-based and person-centred way, identifying individual outcomes, informal networks and community resources alongside statutory services. Key responsibilities will include assessing risk, responding to safeguarding concerns, arranging and reviewing services, contributing to hospital discharge and supporting transitions between services. You will work closely with health professionals, carers, families, providers and other partner agencies to coordinate effective support. Accurate case recording, professional reports and clear communication will be essential, as will the ability to make sound decisions within relevant legislation, policies and professional standards.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with the appropriate professional regulator. Experience of adult social care, safeguarding, mental capacity assessments and strengths-based practice is desirable, along with a sound understanding of the Care Act and related statutory duties. You should be confident managing competing priorities, working independently and contributing positively within a multidisciplinary team. The role requires resilience, empathy, strong organisational skills and a commitment to promoting equality, dignity and inclusion. A current driving licence and access to transport may be required, depending on service needs. This is an excellent opportunity for a dedicated professional seeking to make a meaningful difference to adults, carers and local communities.
