Social Worker - East Learning Disability Partnership Team Part Time

The East Learning Disability Team offers an exciting opportunity for a Social Worker to join us in a permanent role. This part-time position (23 hours) is based at Noble House in Ely.

The LDP are currently working to a hybrid model in line with our service needs. Following an induction period, our Social Workers will work from the office up to three days each week. This gives our Social Workers a quiet space and plenty of time for reflection whilst still balancing collaborative working across the multi-disciplinary team and peer support. It has also increased our Social Workers autonomy and has had a positive impact on wellbeing and work-life balance.

Cambridgeshire County Council has adopted a new approach to social work and social care to make it increasingly proactive, preventative, and personalised. Transforming Lives is a three-tier approach to working with individuals, carers, and families that consider holistic, creative solutions to enable individuals meet their aspirations through the care and support planning process.

This is a part-time opportunity, working 23 hours per week.
