Adult's SW - Community Team - Manchester

Reference: 671198

An opportunity is available for a qualified Adult Social Worker to join a busy Community Team supporting adults to live safely, independently and with dignity in their own homes and local communities. This is a varied role for a motivated professional who can build effective relationships with individuals, families, carers and partner agencies.

You will complete proportionate assessments under the Care Act, identify strengths and eligible needs, and develop outcome-focused support plans in partnership with the people you work with. Your responsibilities will include reviewing care packages, arranging appropriate services, promoting independence and preventing, reducing or delaying the need for ongoing support wherever possible.

You will manage a varied caseload, undertaking safeguarding enquiries, mental capacity assessments and best-interest decision-making in line with legislation and professional guidance. The role also involves working closely with health colleagues, care providers, housing services and other professionals to coordinate effective, person-centred outcomes. You will maintain accurate, timely case records and contribute to professional discussions, team meetings and service development.

Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You should have recent experience in adult social care, ideally within a community, locality or multidisciplinary setting, together with a sound understanding of the Care Act, safeguarding procedures, the Mental Capacity Act and relevant social work practice standards.

You will need strong assessment, communication and analytical skills, alongside the ability to prioritise competing demands and work confidently both independently and as part of a team. A strengths-based, solution-focused approach is essential, as is the ability to engage respectfully with people from diverse backgrounds. The role may require travel between community locations, so the ability to travel as required is desirable.

This is an excellent opportunity for a committed Adult Social Worker to make a meaningful difference while developing their professional practice within a supportive community-focused environment.
