Summary
At Swindon Borough Council, we want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious vision in the new Swindon Plan is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at their heart. Because that’s who we’re doing it for – the communities and businesses that make our town great. As part of the Council, you’ll support a friendly local authority making decisions with real impact. It’s all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.
We are bold and ambitious in our plans, with a clear vision and direction for the future. Our status as one of the UK’s fastest growing towns is driving transformational change across our organisation, most significantly within our highly valued Adults’ Services teams.
We are looking for:
• 1 locum Social Worker to work within our mental health team to back fill a seconded post.
You will be expected to be in the office (based in Swindon) for a minimum of 2 days a week. Visits in Swindon outside of these times are likely; therefore, you must be able to commute to Swindon. You will also be expected to travel to visit people we support out of area, such as Salisbury, Bath, Bristol and Devizes.
This is an opportunity to join a team with high ambitions to support people with a mental illness in Swindon.
You will have extensive experience of writing Care Act assessments and Mental Capacity Act assessments. You will have a sound knowledge of the Care Act; strengths based working; and a willingness to learn and develop alongside your team colleagues.
Experience of mental health social work is preferred but we will consider people who have sound practice skills and are willing to learn more about mental health work.
You will also be passionate about ensuring people with a mental illness are supported to live their best lives.
You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act “for the effective performance of a customer-facing role”).
Swindon Vision and Priorities:
By 2030, Swindon will have all of the positive characteristics of a British city with one of the UK’s most successful economies; a low-carbon environment with compelling cultural, retail and leisure opportunities and excellent infrastructure. It will be a model of well managed housing growth which supports and improves new and existing communities.
Swindon will be physically transformed with existing heritage and landmarks complemented by new ones that people who live, work and visit here will recognise and admire. It will remain, at heart, a place of fairness and opportunity where people can aspire to and achieve prosperity, supported by strong civic and community leadership.
