We are in a position to offer a part‑time, 12‑month secondment for a Social Worker in the Forensic Social Work Service at Fromeside Medium Secure Unit and Wickham Low Secure Unit.
This is an exciting time for the Social Work team as we develop new ways of working within the team and the wider service. It is a fascinating area of forensic mental health where Social Workers are able to make a real difference to the lives of service users and their carers.
The Forensic Social Work team is committed to meeting the needs of service users detained under the Mental Health Act 1983. They help to embed the social model within a medicalised environment and use their skills, values, knowledge, and expertise to improve the experience of some of society’s most vulnerable people.
The Forensic Social Work team works with service users, their carers, and multi‑disciplinary teams across two units located at Blackberry Hill. Fromeside is an 81‑bed Medium Secure Unit, and Wickham is a 31‑bed Low Secure Unit. The post holder may work across both units or be allocated to one, depending on their caseload.
A Social Work qualification is essential, as is registration with Social Work England.
Right to Work in the UKThis position is not eligible for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship. Applicants must already hold the legal right to work in the UK at the time of application, as the organisation is unable to support sponsorship for this post.
