Are you passionate about supporting adults to live independently and improve their wellbeing? We’re looking for a dedicated Social Care Worker to join the Adult Front Door team within Worcestershire County Council’s People Directorate.
This is your chance to make a real difference at the first point of contact – where early intervention, strength-based conversations, and positive outcomes begin.
? What You’ll Be Doing:
* Working with adults and carers using a strength-based approach, empowering them to live independently and access the right support.
* Providing an effective telephone consultation and referral service for adults seeking support or advice about adult social care.
* Supporting people in times of crisis, helping them regain control and plan for the future.
* Engaging with internal and external professionals to create a joined-up, multi-agency approach.
* Identifying safeguarding concerns and contributing to robust adult protection processes.
* Supporting the delivery of Care Act 2014 responsibilities and understanding the implications of the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
? What We’re Looking For: You’ll have:
* Significant experience in adult social care or health, particularly supporting people with learning disabilities, mental health needs, dementia, and long-term conditions.
* Proven experience in assessing needs, developing support plans, and contributing to person-centred outcomes.
* Confidence in engaging with individuals, carers, and professionals in a thoughtful, sensitive, and proactive manner.
* Strong IT and record-keeping skills, with the ability to maintain accurate and detailed case notes.
* A Level 3 qualification in Health and Social Care (or equivalent experience).
* A commitment to equality, anti-oppressive practice, and ongoing professional development.
? You’ll Also Need:
* Excellent knowledge of safeguarding, the Mental Capacity Act, and how to access community and universal services.
* Experience in quality assurance, auditing, and evidence-based practice.
* Strong organisational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
* The ability to travel throughout Worcestershire, sometimes to areas not served by public transport.
? Why Join Us? You’ll be part of a forward-thinking team committed to early intervention, prevention, and putting people at the centre of their own care. You'll work in a supportive environment with regular supervision, opportunities for training, and the chance to develop your social care career with a well-respected local authority.
