Description:
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.
Responsibilities:
As a Social Worker in the Learning Disability Team, you will be joining a friendly, supportive and dynamic team. This role will see you working closely with the residents of Swindon and their families as well as a number of professionals including health, provider services, safeguarding and mental health colleagues.
You will manage a caseload and be responsible for completing Care Act Assessments, reviews and proportionate support planning which may include Mental Capacity Assessments and Best Interest Decisions as well as other tasks. You’ll offer support to your colleagues by taking part in peer supervision, managing safeguarding enquiries, and taking part in the duty rota. The team operates a hybrid working model with all practitioners expected to be in the office for a minimum of two days per week.
Consistent and regular monthly supervision will be provided to you with access to support from the Advanced Social Workers, Assistant Team Manager, Team Manager and the wider team.
You must hold a Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England.
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”).
We reserve the right to close this vacancy early so early applications are encouraged.
