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.

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.
