We are seeking a qualified Social Worker to join an Adult Social Care Ageing Well Team in Southend-on-Sea. This is an opportunity to support older adults and their families to live safely, independently and with dignity in their own homes and communities. You will manage a varied caseload, working with individuals who may have physical disabilities, long-term health conditions, mobility needs, frailty, or changing care and support requirements.

Your responsibilities will include completing strengths-based assessments, identifying eligible needs, developing person-centred support plans and reviewing outcomes. You will work collaboratively with individuals, carers, health professionals, care providers and other partner agencies to coordinate effective services and promote wellbeing. The role will involve safeguarding adults, undertaking appropriate risk assessments, contributing to mental capacity and best-interest decisions, and responding professionally to complex or changing circumstances.
