Adult Social Worker needed for the Centralized Safeguarding Triage Team in Chelmsford, Essex – £32 ph.
Job Purpose:
* We are currently offering an experienced Social Worker the opportunity to be a part of ECC’s Safeguarding Triage team service, whose focus is on triaging and managing all new safeguarding concerns referred into Adult Social Care.
* The role and function of this team is to support effective decision making to ensure section 42 enquiries are progressed appropriately. The role will have oversight and screening of incoming safeguarding workflow but there will be strong links with all quadrants as section 42 enquiries will remain their responsibility, so there is an opportunity to build strong networks in all areas.
* The position will be home and office-based; however, there will be opportunities to visit adults across Essex as part of triaging the safeguarding concerns based on levels of risk and communication. This service will also offer a consistent approach to triaging and the progression of enquiries which will provide Adult Social Care with more accurate information about safeguarding data.
* This is a new innovative approach for Essex County Council, and the successful applicant will be part of a team that will shape how we ensure safeguarding is made personal when applying Care Act thresholds.
Your responsibilities will also include:
* Working collaboratively across the Council, with partners and statutory and voluntary agencies, to ensure a joined-up approach.
* Taking part in a range of case conferences, court attendance, meetings and statutory reviews, pro-actively taking the lead when a social care perspective is required.
* Developing a high level of expertise in particular areas of practice and leading on those areas.
* Allocation to team members and triage of complex cases while working on a busy duty system.
Working with Tripod Partners offers you a number of benefits including:
* Your own dedicated specialist consultant
* Access to the widest variety of jobs across 150 authorities and private organizations throughout the UK
* Prompt and reliable payroll
* Free DBS and compliance service
* £500 referral fees
