Are you passionate about making a positive and lasting difference for the people of Hull?
If you are inspired by a challenge and want to make a lasting difference, to support persons with diagnosis of Learning Disability, Autism or Mental Health we look forward to hearing from you.
We are looking to appoint at Grade 8 level to be part of an established team of social workers within the High Needs Team in Adult Social Care.

You will work creatively and collaboratively with (in some cases from the age of 16) with our partners in Children’s services. This is to provide a consistent approach within a social work interface in preparation for their transitioning journey into adult’s services.
You will be working in a Multi-disciplinary arena which will include colleagues in the Community Learning Disability Team, Housing, Criminal Justice, Probation, Community Mental health and other health Professionals.
We are looking for individuals who are qualified and experienced social workers who can demonstrate:
A strong value base that informs your work with young persons and adults.
A continuing commitment to quality outcomes - and to be able to talk about what good Social Work practice 'looks like'
A capacity for honest reflection and openness to learning;
Ability to establish professional, effective working relationships with a range of partners/colleagues, adults, families and their carers
The ability to work in a multidisciplinary arena to promote autonomy and implement personalised safeguarding
Understand the complexities involved with vulnerable persons
You must be a qualified social worker and be registered with Social Work England.
We provide a range of benefits to motivate, reward and recognise the valuable work of our employees, which include:
Work/Life Balance - The Council recognises that all employees need to balance home life with meeting work commitments through the provision of appropriate policies and support, for example, family and parental leave, flexible hours and career break schemes.
Learning and Development - The Council has a commitment to lifelong learning. We provide excellent development opportunities for all employees.
Pension - We provide a defined benefit pension scheme whereby the Council contributes towards a pension payable on retirement
Employee discounts - There are a selection of voluntary benefits available giving a wide variety of staff discounts on goods and services from a range of suppliers via our Hull plus website
Laptops and telephone for all social workers, to enable them to work smarter and more flexibly
You must be able to provide and support the delivery of high quality social work activities, however, we have opportunities for different levels of experience as follows:
This post is for you if you have completed your ASYE and can demonstrate increased decision making autonomy in situations of increasing complexity, risk, uncertainty and challenge.
The High Needs Team provides consistent and intensive case management during the initial stages of a service being set up or where the professional view is that support can be reduced over a period of time e.g. over the first years of care. It provides a level of assurance for the management team (DMT) in terms of having oversight across packages of support which may involve a community deprivation of liberty and Standard Authorisation, there is a requirement to regularly review the restrictions which are in place to keep the person safe.
