Adult's SW - Community Team - Lincolnshire
An opportunity is available for an experienced Adults’ Social Worker to join a busy Community Team supporting people to live safely, independently and with dignity in their own homes and local communities. You will work with adults who may have care and support needs relating to ageing, physical disabilities, mental health, learning disabilities or other complex circumstances.
You will complete strengths-based assessments, reviews and safeguarding enquiries, working collaboratively with individuals, families, carers and partner agencies. Your responsibilities will include identifying eligible needs, developing outcome-focused support plans, arranging appropriate services and ensuring that care and support remains proportionate, effective and responsive to changing circumstances.
The role will involve managing a varied caseload, undertaking statutory duties in line with the Care Act, maintaining accurate and timely records, and making sound professional decisions regarding risk, capacity, consent and safeguarding. You will contribute to multidisciplinary discussions and work closely with health professionals, providers, housing services, voluntary organisations and other colleagues to achieve positive outcomes.
You will need to communicate clearly and sensitively, advocate for people’s views and rights, and promote choice, control and independence. The ability to manage competing priorities, work autonomously and respond calmly to complex or challenging situations is essential. You should be confident completing professional assessments, applying relevant legislation and presenting well-reasoned recommendations.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. Recent experience in adult social care, community-based practice or a related statutory setting is required, together with an up-to-date understanding of safeguarding, mental capacity and best-interest decision-making. A valid driving licence and access to transport may be necessary, depending on service requirements.
This is an excellent opportunity for a committed practitioner who is passionate about strengths-based social work and improving outcomes for adults and their carers. Regular supervision, professional support and opportunities for continued development will be available.
