This role is office-based; however, it also offers some agile or remote working
Are you an experienced Social Worker passionate about working with people to promote independence and dedicated to making a difference?
Do you have experience of supervising, maybe as a Practice Educator or Mentor?
Or you may already be a social work manager looking for a new role. We would love to hear from you!
About the role:
We have a full time Senior Social Worker position available in our Adult Social Care Learning Disability and Transition Team.
This is an agile working role and we work closely with our health colleagues from the Arthur Webster Clinic on the IOW. This brings all the advantages of shared knowledge and joined up working to get the best outcomes for our client group.
The focus of this post will be to support the day to day running of the team while meeting our obligations under the Care Act and ensuring the voice of our client group is heard. You will be supporting people to remain as independent as possible in the community, using a strength-based approach and person-centred care.
Senior Social Workers hold a limited caseload of the more complex and challenging cases where there is complex or high risk identified.
You will be overseeing the day-to-day operations and supervision of the Adult Social Care staff whilst being supported by the Team Manager.
You will be responsible for quality checking and auditing work completed by those you line manage and supervise. You will be allocating and approving work, providing supervision and practice guidance to your staff using your knowledge of legislation and understanding of safeguarding.
You will monitor performance, quality control through audits, and authorise assessments and care documentation that your team will produce.
Supervision is cascaded throughout the team with the Senior Social Worker supervising several of the qualified Social Workers, and Social Work Assistants.
