Temporary Social Worker (2 posts)
We are looking for enthusiastic and highly motivated Social Worker who wants to make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable adults living in the Ashfield and Mansfield areas.
We are seeking to appoint two qualified and registered social workers who will be joining a well-established and supportive team. The Ashfield Mansfield Older Adults Community Assessment Team provides assessments to older adults with complex needs, who are over 65 years of age or individuals with working age dementia. Many of whom require a multi-disciplinary approach to enable them to remain independent and safely supported within the community.
You will be expected to undertake community care assessments and commission care packages for older adults and their carers. You will also be expected to undertake Mental Capacity Act assessments and safeguarding investigations.
In addition to professional experience of working with service users and carers, you will have knowledge of the issues enshrined in The Care Act 2014, will be flexible, and have effective communication and IT skills. In return for your commitment we will provide access to professional development opportunities. You will also receive regular supervision, and be supported to attend training to progress your career.
