Adult's SW - Locality Team - Middlesbrough
An experienced and motivated Adult Social Worker is required to join a busy Locality Team supporting adults to achieve greater independence, wellbeing and choice. This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified social worker who is committed to strengths-based, person-centred practice and delivering positive outcomes for individuals, their families and carers.
You will manage a varied caseload involving assessment, care planning, reviews and safeguarding enquiries. Working in accordance with the Care Act 2014 and relevant legislation, you will identify eligible needs, assess risk, arrange appropriate support and promote least restrictive solutions. You will work collaboratively with adults, families, carers and partner agencies to develop creative plans that maximise independence and uphold dignity, rights and personal choice.
The role will involve responding to complex and changing circumstances, undertaking proportionate assessments, reviewing commissioned services and supporting people through transitions or periods of increased need. You will contribute to safeguarding processes, mental capacity assessments and best-interest decision-making where appropriate, ensuring that professional decisions are clearly reasoned, evidence-based and recorded accurately.
You will work closely with health professionals, care providers, housing services and other agencies, contributing effectively to multidisciplinary discussions and coordinated support. Strong communication, relationship-building and organisational skills are essential, together with the ability to manage competing priorities and maintain high-quality case records within required timescales.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You should have sound knowledge of adult social care legislation, safeguarding practice, mental capacity principles and strengths-based approaches. Experience of working with adults in a community or locality setting is desirable. A commitment to equality, diversity, continuous professional development and reflective practice is essential. You will be expected to work flexibly and travel within the local area as required.
