About Us:
In Kensington and Chelsea, we look after a diverse population, which includes people living in some of the nation’s most deprived wards. By sharing facilities and expertise in a bi-borough agreement with Westminster City Council, we have sustained joined-up health and social care services that put residents at their heart. We support people’s independence and wellbeing and work hard to enable them to live in the community with dignity, choice and control. This includes working to a model of safeguarding that empowers the individual and sees enforcement as a last resort.
The Role:
In this frontline, bi-borough role you’ll have direct involvement with service users, focusing on safeguarding challenges. Specialising in areas such as domestic abuse, rough sleeping or health, you’ll help adults protect themselves from abuse and neglect. The emphasis is on evidence-based, person-centred support: working with families, carers and surrounding communities, and enabling people to make their own decisions about safety. You’ll also advise other practitioners and agencies who are working on such cases. The challenge lies in having a strong grasp of legal and statutory requirements around safeguarding, while adopting a creative, customised and solution-focused approach. It’s also an opportunity to advance your leadership skills though chairing meetings and coordinating the work of different people and organisations.
About You:
This role can be shaped around you, your expertise and your development goals. You could be an experienced social worker looking to hone your knowledge and expertise in safeguarding through a temporary placement, or a qualified and registered Nurse or Occupational Therapist who wants to develop specialist skills through a more permanent career move. Whatever your background, you’ll need significant experience of working with vulnerable adults, a proven track record in identifying and assessing risk, and a demonstrable focus on empowerment and community engagement. You’ll also have the interpersonal and communication skills to exert real influence, both on the ground with service users and with different agencies and organisations.
Application Process:
Please apply online explaining how you meet the requirements set out in the person specification and job description. CVs will not be considered for this role.
We reserve the right to extend or close this vacancy early without warning subject to the volume of suitable applicants.
Additional Information:
The council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff to share this commitment. We promote equality, welcome diverse applicants, and ensure inclusivity in our recruitment and selection process.
