Pay rate: £36.03 per hour (Umbrella company)
Swindon CBC Adults Services are looking for 2 agency workers to join their team based at Euclid Street for an initial 12-week period with potential to extend. Preferably, they are looking to hire locums who can offer 37 hours per week. The team operates a hybrid working model with all practitioners expected to be in the office for a minimum of two days per week.
The Learning Disabilities Team supports people to meet their needs, to live as independently as they can, and to live a good life. We work with multi-disciplinary teams, including the Integrated Care Board, to meet those needs holistically. The team focuses on promoting the rights of individuals to make choices and decisions for themselves and uses the Mental Capacity Act to guide these where required. The team has a range of practitioners including Assistant Care Managers, Social Workers, Experienced Social Workers, Advanced Social Workers, and Link Workers. Our Link Workers support the main Care Management functions of the other roles and help the people we work with to source services and activities in the community. While the work can be challenging, the team is very supportive of each other and fun to be around. We have a passion and commitment to support the people we work with.
