Job Description
Based at Whitehills Health & Community Care Centre, Station Road, Forfar.
This job is workstyle 3 - Flexi.
You will have the opportunity to benefit from our flexible and agile working practices. This means you will work from a variety of locations, including council buildings, service user's locations, site visits, and from home to best suit your work, meetings, and collaboration.
We are currently recruiting an inspiring social worker to join Angus Health and Social Care Partnership. We are looking for someone who shares our ambitions and is committed to ensuring that service users receive enhanced standards of care and support.
You must have knowledge and experience of social work services and demonstrate the skills and knowledge to make decisions that support our policy framework, standards, and service objectives.
Last year saw the creation of the Angus Hospital Discharge Team, which consists of Social Workers, Care Managers, and Home Care Assessors. Due to the success of the team, we are now looking to recruit further social workers.
The team covers the whole of Angus, including Arbroath Infirmary (ARI), Whitehill's Community Care Centre (WHCCC), Royal Victoria, and Ninewells Hospitals, supporting Angus residents. As part of the team, you will become an integral part of the Multi-Disciplinary Teams (MDT) in these hospitals, working closely with the MDT to aid people in leaving the hospital safely and by their Planned Date of Discharge (PDD).
You will continue to work with people, families, and carers post-discharge and ensure a safe transfer to locality teams. This busy team works dynamically to established timescales, managing often complex cases. You will ensure robust delivery of practice mainly in relation to statutory and AHSCP policy requirements of Adult Support and Protection, Adults with Incapacity, and Self-Directed Support legislation across the service.
You will work in conjunction with local multi-agency arrangements to promote the achievement of positive outcomes for service users. Actively demonstrate, promote, and uphold social work values and deliver fair and evidence-based decision-making.
