An exciting opportunity is available for a qualified Adult Social Worker to join a Mental Health Team in Lincolnshire. You will support adults experiencing a range of mental health needs, promoting independence, wellbeing and social inclusion while ensuring that care and support is tailored to each person’s strengths, wishes and individual circumstances.

Your responsibilities will include completing Care Act assessments, reviews and safeguarding enquiries; identifying eligible needs; developing person-centred support plans; and coordinating services with individuals, families, carers and external agencies. You will manage a varied caseload, maintain accurate and timely records, and ensure that decisions are supported by sound professional judgement and relevant legislation. The role will also involve contributing to risk management, mental capacity assessments, best-interest decision-making and the prevention of hospital admission where appropriate.

You will work closely with health professionals, care providers, housing services, advocacy organisations and other partners to achieve positive outcomes.

Experience of working with adults in mental health, social care or a related setting is highly desirable, together with knowledge of the Care Act, Mental Capacity Act, safeguarding procedures and relevant mental health legislation. You should be confident managing competing priorities, working independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team, and producing clear, professional assessments and reports. A commitment to strengths-based, trauma-informed and person-centred practice is essential. The ability to travel to undertake visits and attend meetings across the area may be required.
