About the Role
Social work is at the heart of social and community innovations in mental health services in Trafford. An exciting opportunity has arisen, and we currently have a social work vacancy within the South Community Mental Health Team in Trafford.
Within this social work role, the expectation will be that you support people to lead fulfilling lives and reach their potential to live as independently as possible. You will work holistically with the person and their social network, helping to strengthen and build sustainable families and social capital.
On a day-to-day basis, you will work in a multi-disciplinary team and carry a caseload of individuals with severe mental health problems. Your work will be within a Care Program Approach underpinned by the social model of disability, using a strengths-based approach, and delivering statutory duties as per the Care Act 2014 and other applicable legislation such as the HRA 1998, MHA 1983, MCA 2005, and the mental health recovery model.
About You
We are looking to recruit Social Workers/AMHPs who can work with warmth, empathy, and genuineness within a multi-disciplinary team and have a strong social work identity.
This role requires a social worker who is driven and passionate about making a difference, working within a strong human rights framework to promote social justice and equal opportunities for people with mental health problems.
You should be a collaborative individual with excellent communication, listening, and interpersonal skills. Use your professional curiosity and inquisitive enquiry at every contact to promote person-centred outcomes and wellbeing.
You need a good knowledge base around ethical and legal literacy and a commitment to continual learning and improvement to ensure effective outcomes.
You should value and respect others’ contributions, be able to professionally challenge when applicable, and work within a solutions-focused and 'can do' approach within a specialist service area. This is essential to improve outcomes for adults experiencing poor mental health and to support their families within a 'think family' approach.
Underpinned by your social work values and ethics, you should demonstrate knowledge of enablement services which aim to prevent, reduce, and delay the need for crisis interventions, and support risk enablement and positive risk-taking while mitigating preventable harm using your legal and statutory knowledge.
You must be able to take ownership of your actions, strive to get things right the first time, and be a reflective social worker. Be creative in strengths-based practice and innovation to resolve issues and adapt your methods to make a difference.
