We are St Helens Borough Council, located in the heart of the Northwest close to Liverpool, Manchester, and Lancashire. We are a modernising Council passionate about supporting children and families, our communities, and our workforce.
Making a Difference as Social Worker in Adults Services
Our Social Workers are pivotal to our teams. In Adult Services you will undertake needs‑led assessments and provide specialist support to adults and their carers, service users, and colleagues.
It is essential that you have a knowledge and understanding of relevant legislation and guidance, risk factors and difficulties relevant to client groups, an understanding of rehabilitation processes (particularly in relation to older people), knowledge of user and carer issues, and a thorough understanding of the care management process.
You will also need experience of developing care packages, working with older/disabled people, and working in a multi‑agency setting.
CQSW, DipSW, CSS, or a BA (Hons) in Social Work is essential, and you must be willing to undertake all essential training.
This is an exciting opportunity to utilise existing skills and develop new ones. You will receive continuous support, development, and career progression opportunities on your journey with us. The post requires regular attendance at the St Helens office and travel around St Helens and surrounding areas.
