Adult's SW - Community Team - Worcestershire

An experienced Adults’ Social Worker is required to join a busy Community Team, supporting adults to live as independently and safely as possible within their own homes and communities. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by delivering person-centred, strengths-based social work to individuals with a range of care and support needs.

You will manage a varied caseload and undertake assessments in line with the Care Act 2014, working collaboratively with adults, families, carers and partner agencies to identify strengths, risks and desired outcomes. Your responsibilities will include developing and reviewing care and support plans, arranging appropriate services, promoting independence and ensuring that individuals have choice and control over the support they receive.

The role will also involve responding to safeguarding concerns, completing mental capacity assessments and making best-interest decisions where required. You will contribute to hospital discharge planning, risk management and multi-disciplinary working with health professionals and other community services. Accurate, timely case recording and the preparation of clear reports will be essential, as will effective communication with all involved parties.

Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. You should have sound knowledge of adult social care legislation, safeguarding procedures, mental capacity principles and strengths-based practice, together with experience of working with adults in a community or statutory setting. Newly qualified social workers with relevant placement experience may also be considered.

You will need to demonstrate professional judgement, resilience and the ability to prioritise competing demands while maintaining high standards of practice. A commitment to equality, dignity and person-centred care is essential. The ability to travel across the local area is required, and a current driving licence with access to suitable transport would be advantageous.
