Adult's SW - Home First Team - Ocfordshire

Reference: 670992

We are seeking a qualified Adult Social Worker to join a Home First Team, supporting people to leave hospital safely and regain independence in their own homes or community settings. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by helping adults achieve the best possible outcomes while reducing avoidable hospital stays and promoting strengths-based care.

You will complete timely assessments of care and support needs, develop personalised plans and coordinate appropriate services. Working closely with adults, families, carers, health professionals and community partners, you will identify practical solutions that enable people to remain as independent as possible. Your responsibilities will include arranging reablement, equipment, adaptations, interim support and longer-term care where required.

You will manage a varied caseload, undertaking reviews, safeguarding enquiries and assessments in line with relevant legislation, policies and professional standards. You will ensure that decisions are person-centred, proportionate and focused on wellbeing, while maintaining accurate case records and completing reports within agreed timescales. The role may involve visiting people in hospital, at home and in other community environments.

Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. You should have experience of working with adults, ideally within hospital discharge, community, reablement, safeguarding or multidisciplinary services. We are looking for someone who can demonstrate sound professional judgement, strong assessment and communication skills, and the ability to work confidently with people experiencing complex or changing circumstances.

You will need to manage competing priorities, work collaboratively and promote positive risk-taking and independence. A commitment to anti-discriminatory practice, strengths-based working and continuous improvement is essential. The ability to travel between locations and undertake visits is also required. In return, you will join a supportive professional environment with opportunities to develop your practice and contribute to an integrated approach to adult social care.
