Advert East Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership have been on a journey to redesign services so that the voices of those we support are at the heart of what we do. We have a strengths-based approach which prioritises walking beside young people, adults and families so that together we can deliver better outcomes. We are looking for an experienced, creative and motivated social worker with a passion for achieving excellence to strengthen and develop the delivery of services with responsibilities for complex work in the area of learning disabilities. In addition, you will have experience of assessment and care management in a community care setting, excellent verbal and written communication skills and experience of partnership working. It is essential that you are a qualified, registered social worker with a recognised Social Work Diploma or Degree. Hybrid employees are considered workplace based first, but they will have a level of flexibility to work from home up to 40% of their working week, if it is not to the detriment of their current tasks, team requirements or service needs.

It is an offence therefore to apply if you are barred from working with children and protected adults.

If you are not currently registered with SSSC you will commence employment as a Social Work Assistant (Grade 7 - £ 32,008 to £34,399) until full registration is obtained. This post requires Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) registration.
