This is an exciting opportunity to join our Integrated Community Network Teams. We work alongside both older and younger adults, who may experience long term challenges around their physical and mental health. Within the networks, we work closely with our health colleagues to enable a holistic assessment to take place, which in turn, enables us to work in partnership to meet personal outcomes. We strive to enable the people of Bridgend to live their lives as they wish to and ensure voice, choice, independence, and control.
We follow a Strengths-Based Outcome-Focused model of Social Work. Maximising an individual's emotional wellbeing is seen as key in effective Social Work practice. We incorporate the importance of supporting family and carers into our assessment framework to achieve positive outcomes and encourage wider inclusion in the local community.
We are keen to continue to develop innovative approaches to Social Work practice. We work closely with GP's and other partners, utilising the Contingency Care Model to prevent unnecessary admissions to hospital and care homes, maximising independence, and choice. The continued development of this dynamic service model will require work on widening partnership opportunities with statutory partners, the third sector and the community of Bridgend.
We are seeking to recruit a creative, enthusiastic, ambitions Social Worker on a permanent, part-time contract. You will be joining an integrated team which includes Social Workers, District Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Dietetics, Speech and Language Therapy, Pharmacy and Local Community Co-ordinators. We work closely with our local GP surgeries and third sector partner agencies to assess, and support meet the outcomes of adults impacted by long term, complex, and adverse conditions, as well as their carers and families. Therefore, we are looking for those who are interested in community and therapeutic Social Work practice. The position will be based in the East Network Team which are both situated in Glanrhyd Hospital. We will offer focussed and committed development opportunities for the successful candidates.
We encourage informal conversations prior to interview.
