Adult's SW - Advice Team - Royal Borough Of Kensington and Chelsea
We are seeking a qualified Adult Social Worker to join an Advice Team supporting adults, their families and carers to access appropriate care, support and community resources. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference through timely, strengths-based and person-centred practice.
You will undertake comprehensive assessments under the Care Act, identify eligible needs and develop proportionate care and support plans with individuals and their networks. You will provide clear information and advice, promote independence and wellbeing, and consider preventative and community-based solutions wherever appropriate. The role will involve reviewing arrangements, responding to changing circumstances and ensuring that people remain at the centre of all decisions.
You will manage a varied caseload, completing statutory duties relating to safeguarding, mental capacity and best-interest decision-making. You will work collaboratively with health professionals, housing services, voluntary organisations, care providers and internal teams to coordinate effective interventions. Accurate recording, sound professional judgement and adherence to relevant legislation, policies and procedures will be essential.
The successful candidate will hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You should have experience of working with adults in a social care, health or community setting, with a sound understanding of the Care Act, safeguarding procedures, mental capacity legislation and strengths-based practice. Newly qualified social workers with relevant placement experience may also be considered.
You will need excellent assessment, communication and report-writing skills, alongside the ability to build trusting relationships with people from diverse backgrounds. The role requires resilience, organisation and the confidence to make balanced decisions in complex situations. You should be comfortable working independently while contributing positively to a supportive, multidisciplinary team.
This role offers the opportunity to develop your professional practice while helping adults achieve greater choice, safety and independence. A commitment to equality, inclusion and anti-discriminatory practice is essential.
