lavori presso Wakefield Council in località United States

Social Worker – Advanced Adults
Team: EDT Emergency Duty
Location: Wakefield
Pay Rate: £35
Office Use: 0009 DE2A / 1

Social Care Direct has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Social Worker to join our team – Hybrid 3 days a week onsite.

Social Care Direct is the first point of contact for all new referrals to Wakefield Council.

Your role would be to triage these referrals, providing urgent responses, offering advice and information, and signposting.

The role involves triaging requests for social care assessments and safeguarding referrals.

As a Senior Social Worker, you would also have the chance to attend multi-agency meetings and be a lead in championing new initiatives and team developments.

It is expected you will be a practicing Best Interest Assessor, AMHP, Practice Educator, or ASYE Assessor.

Most of our work is done over the phone, so you will need excellent communication skills. The work is very varied, with no two days the same, and suits someone who likes a fast pace of work and has excellent time management and prioritizing skills.

The team is not case holding and would suit Social Workers who enjoy short-term and crisis intervention style work.

The team provides cover until 7pm, and 9am – 5pm on weekends, so some out-of-hours work is expected.

We are able to offer flexible working and the opportunity to work from home on a regular basis.
