Job search

An experienced Adult Social Worker is required to join an integrated team supporting adults to achieve greater independence, wellbeing and choice. You will work with individuals, families and carers to understand their circumstances, identify strengths and risks, and arrange appropriate support in line with assessed needs.

Managing a varied caseload, you will complete proportionate Care Act assessments, reviews and support plans, ensuring that people’s views, desired outcomes and personal budgets are central to decision-making. You will promote strengths-based and preventative approaches, consider community resources and informal support, and arrange services where eligible needs are identified.

The role will involve close partnership working with health professionals, colleagues across social care, care providers, voluntary organisations and other agencies. You will contribute to multidisciplinary discussions, support effective hospital discharge and promote safe transitions between services. You will also respond appropriately to safeguarding concerns, undertake enquiries where required, manage risk and ensure that actions are recorded and reviewed.

You will maintain accurate, timely and confidential case records, complete financial assessments or related information as required, and ensure that practice complies with relevant legislation, policies and professional standards. The ability to prioritise competing demands, work autonomously and make sound, evidence-based decisions is essential.

Applicants must hold a recognised social work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You should have post-qualification experience in adult social care, including assessment, care planning, safeguarding and multi-agency working. Experience within an integrated team or community setting would be advantageous, as would knowledge of local services and resources in Bromley. Strong communication, negotiation and report-writing skills are required, together with a compassionate, inclusive and person-centred approach.
