Learning Disabilities Social Worker | Ealing | Review Project
An excellent opportunity has arisen for experienced Learning Disabilities Social Workers to join a dedicated review project team in Ealing.
The project is looking for Social Workers with strong Learning Disabilities experience who are confident managing a busy workload and working at a fairly fast pace. Previous review project experience is not essential, provided you have good experience working within Learning Disabilities services.
The role will include:
- Completing Care Act assessments and reviews
- Undertaking Mental Capacity Assessments
- Working directly with adults with Learning Disabilities, their families and relevant professionals
- Managing a busy caseload and completing reviews efficiently
- Travelling within the borough to complete assessments and reviews
There is very little requirement to be office-based, as the role will predominantly involve being out in the community completing reviews. Candidates will therefore need to be car drivers.
Pay and contract
The anticipated rate is approximately £32.72 per hour for Social Workers with more than two years' experience, in line with London rates.
The project is initially expected to run until the end of the 2026/27 financial year. There is then a strong possibility that the positions will be reabsorbed into the wider Learning Disabilities service, making this particularly attractive for anyone looking for the potential of a stable, longer-term locum contract.
The project will also have an experienced Practice Manager already established within Ealing, who has been working there on a locum basis since January 2024. This offers incoming Social Workers continuity and support from someone who already knows the service well.
You will need:
- Social Work England registration
- Right to Work in the UK
- Strong post-qualified Learning Disabilities Social Work experience
- Confidence completing Care Act assessments/reviews
- Experience undertaking Mental Capacity Assessments
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced project environment
- A driving licence and access to a car
- Ideally 2+ years' post-qualified experience for the stated rate
This is a great opportunity for an experienced LD Social Worker who enjoys community-based working, wants minimal office attendance and is looking for a project role with genuine potential to develop into a longer-term contract.
