We are seeking a dynamic and compassionate Social Worker to join our Forensic Social Work Team at Rampton Hospital in Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
As a Social Worker you will report to the Social Work Manager and contribute to the delivery of an excellent Social Care Service to a forensic patient population across four Clinical Care Streams at Rampton High Secure Hospital. This includes the National Service for Women, the National Learning Disability Service for men, National Deaf Service for men, as well as the Male Personality Disorder and Mental Health Service.
* Work with a caseload of up to 25 forensic patients and their families.
* Collaborate as part of a multi-disciplinary team and link with external agencies.
* Provide a high quality Social Care service and prepare and present complex reports in a variety of forums.
* Work within the legislative frameworks for safeguarding vulnerable adults and children.
* Support ongoing professional development with regular supervision and support.
Please note that this post does not meet the pay level required for a Skilled Worker visa.
Successful applicants with no prior NHS experience would normally be placed at the bottom of the band in line with Agenda for Change. This salary is below the minimum salary required for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker/Health & Care visa. In these circumstances the Trust would not, therefore, be able to sponsor for a Skilled Worker/Health & Care visa.
Applicants requiring a Skilled Worker Visa can determine the likelihood of obtaining a Certificate of Sponsorship against the relevant criteria here https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa
We welcome applications from under‑represented groups and have a strong commitment to anti‑discriminatory practice.
