Description
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced part time Social Work Practitioner to join Salford Adult Social Care.
We strive to support people to live well and to be safe at home. We do this by having strength-based conversations to support people to promote their wellbeing. We work closely with other organisations to ensure that people are well connected with their local communities and can work towards people achieving their personal outcomes.
The Adult Social Care workforce aims to improve outcomes for people who live in Salford by developing a skilled and motivated workforce. We do this by investing in continued professional development and ensuring that social work practice is current and of a high standard. You should hold a degree in social work, be registered with Social Work England, with evidence of continuing professional development and a strong understanding of the application of Care Act, Mental Capacity Act and Safeguarding Adults.
Salford is an exciting place to work and live. The fastest growing economy in Greater Manchester, the city is already home to the BBC and Granada and is attracting many more digital media, creative and professional businesses. Salford’s growing success is testament to a unique partnership approach that runs through everything that we do.
The main duties of the role includes completing strengths-based assessments and promoting well-being by utilising resources from social care, health and other voluntary or statutory agencies.
The role involves undertaking initial assessments, and proactively working with complex and legal issues, crisis planning, providing information, advice, signposting, and transferring to other social work teams or other services as required.
You will be a skilled practitioner who can identify whether the need for further assessment under section 9 and 10 of the Care Act is necessary, and transfer these to the relevant social work teams for these assessments to take place. You will also be required to complete support planning and reviews.
There is a Safeguarding function within the service, which includes initial information gathering, risk assessing, safety planning and establishing whether Safeguarding Adult Enquiries under section 42 of the Care Act are required.
The role requires resilient practitioners who can manage competing demands and prioritise the work demands effectively. The role requires applicants who are confident and decision makers and who can stay calm under pressure.
The Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust (NCA) provides hospital and integrated health and social care services to over one million people living across Greater Manchester. Our 20,000 colleagues care for people in hospital and in the community, working across Bury, Rochdale, Oldham, and Salford, to save and improve lives.
As a large NHS Trust we are committed to enhancing the health of our local population by delivering consistently high standards of care and collaborating closely with local authorities and key partners. We believe in our power and potential to make a difference and we are always looking for people who demonstrate our three core values - care, appreciate and inspire – to join our team.
In return, we can offer you a job role with purpose and flexibility. The size and scale of the NCA means we can provide more challenge and opportunities so your career can always be moving in the right direction. By joining us you can also access a competitive benefits package, including, a fantastic annual leave allowance, flexible working opportunities and protected hours for health and wellbeing activities, helping you to achieve more personal downtime and a better work-life balance.
