We are currently supporting Bath & North East Somerset with the recruitment of an experienced Social Worker to join their Hospital Social Care Team on a short‑term basis.

This is a hybrid opportunity; however, candidates must live locally to the BANES area due to the requirement to attend the office twice weekly and respond to urgent visits when needed.
