Adult's SW - LD Team - Southampton
We are seeking a qualified Adult Social Worker to join a Learning Disabilities team in Southampton. This is an opportunity to support adults with learning disabilities to live as independently as possible, achieve their personal goals and remain connected to their communities. You will work collaboratively with individuals, families, carers and partner agencies to promote choice, wellbeing and positive outcomes.
In this role, you will undertake assessments of need, develop and review support plans, and make proportionate, person-centred decisions in line with relevant legislation and professional standards. You will manage a varied caseload, coordinating services and reviewing arrangements to ensure that support remains effective, appropriate and focused on the individual’s strengths and aspirations.
You will contribute to safeguarding enquiries, risk assessments and care planning, taking appropriate action where there are concerns about abuse, neglect or exploitation. The role also involves working with health professionals, providers, advocacy services and other stakeholders, as well as maintaining accurate, timely records and preparing reports for meetings, reviews and panels.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. Experience of working with adults with learning disabilities, complex needs or challenging circumstances is highly desirable. You should have a sound understanding of the Care Act, Mental Capacity Act, safeguarding procedures and strengths-based practice.
We are looking for a confident and compassionate practitioner with excellent communication, organisation and analytical skills. You will be able to manage competing priorities, work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team, and demonstrate sound professional judgement. A commitment to equality, inclusion and empowering people to exercise choice is essential. The ability to travel within the local area may be required, and a current driving licence is desirable.
