Offer description

Wyre Forest Area Adults team have an exciting opportunity for a Social Worker with a depth of Social Work experience. We are looking for Social Workers who have a positive and enthusiastic approach to practice, and experience with complex cases and situations. A high level of skills in assessment, planning, intervention, and evaluation, alongside extensive knowledge of The Care Act, and the Mental Capacity Act is essential. We do offer flexible and mobile working but there is an expectation to support the duty function of the team in the office. In Worcestershire we have adopted the 3 Conversation Model of practice which involves a strength-based approach to working with people. You will manage your own caseload with appropriate supervision. This approach promotes autonomous and creative working styles amongst professionals. The 3 Conversation Model promotes a strength based, innovative and creative approach to practice, where you will support people to make positive changes in their life, exploring universal services as well as purchasing support packages to promote independence. You will need to have the confidence to advocate for our clients and work in partnership with health colleagues, other statutory partners, and voluntary sector providers. The Wyre Forest Team is a very supportive and friendly team covering Kidderminster, Stourport, Bewdley, and surrounding areas. We foster a positive team culture and learning environment which includes weekly reflective practice sessions and catch-up sessions with the whole team and regular guest speakers. You will be offered on-going training, and professional development opportunities, monthly supervision, and a warm, supportive working environment where we value your contribution, and staff value and support each other.

"After finishing my last stage of professional training, I had several options to choose from, but chose to remain in this team due to it being the best social work team Ive been a part of. There is a real togetherness amongst the whole team from students to managers to pull together in the same direction. I wouldnt want to practice anywhere else." "I have been in the team since studying as a student in 2016 and I feel really valued and appreciated. I have been supported to develop my skills and experience over the years. I wouldnt wish to work in a more supportive and friendly team."

While you are working hard, doing your best for the people of Worcestershire, we will do our best to provide an environment that supports and inspires you. Here are some of the top reasons why you should work here. The work we do at Worcestershire County Council matters! We are there for the most vulnerable people in society who need us the most, we are helping to build a successful and growing local economy, we protect our environment, we improve outcomes for our children, young people and families, and we help ensure our residents are healthier, live longer and have a better quality of life. In short, what we do makes a difference to peoples lives! With so many ways to contribute, the chances are we have a job opportunity thats the career for you.

* Great Holiday Entitlement: As well as bank holidays, youll get 26 days paid holiday (pro rata for part-time staff). This goes up to 31 days when you have been with us for 5 years. If you get more than 26 days where you work now, dont worry because if you join us without a break, well match your holiday up to 31 days. If youre successful and want to take advantage of this do let us know!
* Brilliant Pension Scheme: The Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) is a nationwide, career average pension scheme and is a valuable part of the pay and reward package for employees working in local government.
