Children’s Social Worker, Hospital Discharge Team
Pay rate to £30 per hour
Vitalis is recruiting an experienced Qualified Social Worker for a Hospital Discharge Team in Manchester City Council.
We are seeking to appoint a hospital discharge social worker for a 5-month contract based at Wythenshawe Hospital. The role is 35 hours per week, typically from 9:00 to 16:30. The social worker will primarily be based on-site at Wythenshawe Hospital, with the possibility of up to 2 days hybrid working per week depending on demand. The hospital discharge team is a friendly and supportive group of social workers who work closely to facilitate discharges from hospital.
The candidate should have a strong ethos of a 'home first' approach to hospital social work and be capable of working in a fast-paced environment while managing competing priorities flexibly. Experience in completing capacity and best interests assessments is essential, along with strengths-based assessment skills.
The role involves duty work, managing safeguarding concerns, and working dynamically to overcome barriers to discharge. While a home first approach is advised, in situations where this cannot be achieved, the worker will need to complete full assessments for 24-hour care placements. Experience in hospital discharge work is essential. The candidate must be a good team player, able to collaborate with professionals from various disciplines, and demonstrate compassion and support for families.
