Are you ready for a fresh challenge where your skills and compassion can truly change lives? We're on a mission to reduce long hospital stays and help people get back to living independently and we need passionate, driven individuals to join us. We're recruiting Social Workers to work as part of our dynamic Intermediate Care team. If you're an experienced professional looking to make a real difference, this is your opportunity to be part of something transformative.

• Work directly with people in their own homes to prevent hospital admissions, offering timely, tailored support when it matters most.
• Discharge people into Intermediate Care Beds when needed, ensuring they receive the right level of care to recover and return home safely.
• Lead short-term, high-impact interventions with individuals, families and carers-developing personalised care plans that support recovery and independence.
• Collaborate across health, social care, and voluntary sectors to deliver truly integrated care.
• Support safeguarding work and uphold national standards for care and support eligibility.

As a Social Worker, forming collaborative partnerships will be key. You will work closely with a variety of teams and agencies, including health colleagues, stronger communities and prevention teams, voluntary and independent sector, promoting health and wellbeing and preventing, reducing, and delaying need, in line with the Care Act.

Through strength-based assessments and interventions, you will support adults with care and support needs and their carers to achieve their desired outcomes and wellbeing. To achieve this, you will be experienced in developing personalised care and support plans that represent best value and in determining eligibility for adults with care and support needs against the national standards, ensuring they are safe from harm.

You will also have a good working knowledge of current adult social care legislation and application of the legislative principles, including the Care Act 2014.

As an organisation, we promote a safe culture of support and learning which we expect all staff to endorse. We recognise the importance of the health and wellbeing of our employees, striving to ensure our staff have manageable case workloads and providing them with specialised administrative support, allowing focus on delivery of care services. We also support the AYSE (Assessed and Supported Year of Employment) programme for newly qualified Social Workers where you will be supported in your first full year of employment through reduced caseloads and enhanced supervision.

We believe that a positive attitude, a tenacity for learning and developing, and a passion for supporting individuals to achieve their maximum potential are the desired attributes of applicants for this role. If this sounds like you, why not come and make a difference to people's lives in one of the most beautiful places in the UK?

To be eligible for this post you will have a professional Social Work Qualification, DipSW or CQSW and you will have current registration with Social Work England.
