Social Care Practitioner (SCP) – North East Derbyshire (North) Adult Social Work Team
Passionate about delivering high‑quality, strengths‑based support in the community? We are looking for a motivated and experienced Social Care Practitioner (SCP) to join our team.
Closing date: 21 June 2026
Due to maternity leave within the team, we are currently considering applicants for a full‑time, fixed‑term SCP position.
It is a great opportunity for someone wanting to move to a community‑based, statutory adult social care role or increase their current hours across a fixed term. Our team is highly supportive and works on an agile, flexible basis between the office, at home, and across the NED (North) community (Dronfield, Killamarsh, Eckington).
Depending on service needs, there is an expectation to travel across the area and occasionally out of area. You will have the chance to work alongside experienced colleagues, link closely with health professionals and other partner agencies.
Key Responsibilities
* Carry out assessments and reviews for individuals with less complex needs and arrange services to meet Care Act (2014) eligibility.
* Work in a person‑centred, strengths‑based way with clients, carers and families to maintain and maximise independence, which may involve home visits as well as work in residential and nursing settings.
* Provide cover for incoming duty work, including triaging new referrals and supporting adults and carers who require an urgent response.
For further information, please contact NED (North) Service Manager: eva.white@derbyshire.gov.uk.
Provisional Interview Date Week: 29/06/2026.
