Tripod wishes to speak to qualified social workers with Adults Older People Mental Health experience.
Pay Rate: £38p/h or £35 + £150 a week accommodation. We are bound by the MoC, which means pay rates are capped. While we are able to pay up to £38 per hour, this rate is for those deemed to be a qualified social worker with at least 2 years experience.
Please ensure your candidates are aware that the pay rate they request may not be the rate they are offered; managers are assessing skills and competency at interview. If the candidate is being offered less than requested, we will make the reasoning clear whilst providing feedback. We can offer £35ph plus £150pw expenses if the candidate lives outside West Sussex (This will need to be confirmed if submitting at this rate).
Location: Office is County Hall North - Horsham. Working Arrangements: hybrid working, some days in the office some at home. There is flexibility around this to suit the needs of the person and team.
The OPMH team works with people over 65 years of age who have a mental health diagnosis, or people of any age who have a diagnosis of dementia. We are a specialist team, so the nature of cases we work with are complex in relation to social care needs, risk management, and legal challenges (COP hearings, LPA matters, best interest decisions, and DOLS challenges).
Use of the Mental Capacity Act is a priority in our work, in relation to best interest decisions, and empowering people to have autonomy in their lives.
The team is made up of 2 senior practitioners, a variety of social workers, and assistant care managers. The team is very friendly and welcoming, and help each other out with covering duty, supporting in difficult circumstances, and sharing knowledge and expertise.
We work closely with professionals in the mental health trust and carry out joint work where appropriate. You will work as part of a strong and dynamic social work service.
