Reference: 667069

An experienced and dedicated Adult Social Worker is required to join a busy Social Care Team in Blackburn. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to adults and their families by delivering person-centred assessments, care planning and ongoing support. You will work with individuals who may have a range of needs, including physical disabilities, learning disabilities, mental health conditions, sensory impairments and age-related support requirements.

Your responsibilities will include completing strengths-based assessments under relevant social care legislation, identifying eligible needs and managing a varied caseload. You will develop, review and monitor care and support plans, promote independence and wellbeing, and ensure that individuals are fully involved in decisions about their lives. The role will also involve safeguarding adults, undertaking risk assessments, coordinating packages of care, arranging appropriate services and working closely with health professionals, families, providers and other partner agencies.
