Adult's SW - Integrated Neighbourhood Team - Lewisham
We are seeking a qualified Adult Social Worker to join an Integrated Neighbourhood Team in Lewisham. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to adults, carers and families by promoting independence, wellbeing and choice within their local communities.
You will undertake strengths-based assessments under the Care Act, identifying eligible needs and developing person-centred support plans with individuals and their networks. You will review arrangements regularly, respond to changing circumstances and work creatively to maximise independence, prevent, reduce or delay the need for formal care and support.
The role will involve managing a varied caseload, completing proportionate assessments, arranging and reviewing services, and making appropriate referrals to health, housing, voluntary sector and other community services. You will contribute to multidisciplinary discussions, coordinate complex packages of support and ensure that safeguarding concerns are identified, reported and managed in line with statutory procedures.
You will maintain accurate, timely records and demonstrate sound professional judgement when balancing risk, autonomy and available resources. You will also support effective transitions, undertake mental capacity assessments where required and contribute to best-interest decision-making. Partnership working with adults, carers and professionals will be central to achieving positive outcomes.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You should have post-qualification experience in adult social care, with a sound understanding of the Care Act, Mental Capacity Act, safeguarding practice and relevant legislation. Experience of working in a community, integrated or multidisciplinary setting would be advantageous.
We are looking for a compassionate, organised and resilient professional who can manage competing priorities, communicate effectively and work confidently both independently and as part of a team. You will be committed to anti-discriminatory practice, equality and inclusion, and to delivering high-quality, accountable services that place people at the centre of decision-making.
