About the Role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced part-time Social Work Practitioner to join Salford Adult Social Care.
We strive to support people to live well and to be safe at home by having strength-based conversations to promote their wellbeing. We work closely with other organisations to ensure that people are well connected with their local communities and can work towards achieving their personal outcomes.
The Adult Social Care workforce aims to improve outcomes for people who live in Salford by developing a skilled and motivated workforce. We do this by investing in continued professional development and ensuring that social work practice is current and of a high standard. You should hold a degree in social work, be registered with Social Work England, with evidence of continuing professional development, and have a strong understanding of the application of the Care Act, Mental Capacity Act, and Safeguarding Adults.
The main duties of the role include:
1. Completing strengths-based assessments and promoting well-being by utilising resources from social care, health, and other voluntary or statutory agencies.
2. Undertaking initial assessments and proactively working with complex and legal issues, crisis planning, providing information, advice, signposting, and transferring to other social work teams or services as required.
3. Identifying the need for further assessment under sections 9 and 10 of the Care Act and transferring these to the relevant social work teams.
4. Completing support planning and reviews.
5. Conducting Safeguarding functions, including initial information gathering, risk assessing, safety planning, and determining whether Safeguarding Adult Enquiries under section 42 of the Care Act are required.
The role requires resilient practitioners who can manage competing demands and prioritise effectively. Applicants should be confident decision-makers who can stay calm under pressure.
We are committed to supporting the recruitment and retention of our Social Work staff. It is recognised by the Trust that many experienced Social Work staff are likely to be employed by local government organisations. To ensure clarity over terms and conditions of employment, we offer National Joint Council Pay Scales to Social Workers we appoint, rather than NHS pay-scales. We have adopted the Greater Manchester Continuous Service Commitment for recognising continuous service regarding annual leave, sickness, and maternity for moves within Greater Manchester. In addition, we also recognise previous continuous national local government service regarding annual leave.
