Adult's SW - MH Team - London Borough of Hounslow
An experienced and committed Qualified Social Worker is required to join an Adult Mental Health Team in West London. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to adults experiencing mental health difficulties, promoting independence, wellbeing and social inclusion while supporting people to achieve their personal goals.
You will manage a varied caseload, completing strengths-based assessments under the Care Act 2014 and developing, reviewing and coordinating outcome-focused support plans. You will work collaboratively with individuals, families, carers and partner agencies to identify appropriate resources, reduce risk and promote recovery. The role will also involve safeguarding adults, mental capacity assessments, best-interest decision-making and supporting people in complex or high-risk circumstances.
Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you will contribute to effective care planning, risk management and discharge arrangements. You will maintain accurate, timely and confidential case records, prepare reports and ensure that all decisions and interventions are clearly documented. The successful candidate will be confident in managing competing priorities, advocating for people’s rights and challenging professionally where necessary.
You must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. Significant post-qualification experience in adult social care or mental health is required, along with sound knowledge of the Care Act, Mental Capacity Act, safeguarding procedures and relevant statutory guidance. Experience of working in a community mental health setting, or with people who have complex mental health needs, would be advantageous.
You will bring excellent communication, assessment and organisational skills, together with the ability to build positive relationships with people from diverse backgrounds. A reflective, resilient and solution-focused approach is essential, as is the ability to work independently while contributing effectively to a wider team. The role offers the chance to develop professionally within a supportive environment focused on high-quality, person-centred practice.
