Social Worker - Early Intervention Team

Working to support adults, and their families, who have complex social needs and are more vulnerable as a result of disability, exclusion, or diminished capacity, you’ll maximise their potential to live independently.

With case work focusing on complex adults recovering from a Stroke, you’ll ensure that adults and their families are safeguarded. You’ll share ideas and best practice, providing specialist advice as part of a multi-disciplinary team sharing your knowledge as a Social Worker. You will be supporting adults to leave the hospital, linking in with the Stroke Team and Early Supported Discharge therapists maximising the adults recovery and independence.
