Joining our Adults’ Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) as a qualified Social Worker, you’ll be innovative, person-centred, and committed to working in a strengths-based way.
Our team receives all adult safeguarding referrals from across the county, and we work closely with our partner agencies, including the police and the health service, to give the best possible response when concerns are reported. In line with our Care Act (2014) duties, we’re committed to Making Safeguarding Personal and ensuring access to advocacy services. Although we don’t meet the people who use our service face-to-face, we’re the front door to Adults’ Health and Care for all safeguarding referrals, so the work we do can be fast-paced and challenging, but also incredibly rewarding.
What you’ll be doing:
* Triaging incoming telephone and online safeguarding referrals and completing Section 42 enquiries.
* Providing supervision for Case Workers and Senior Case Workers and practice advice on complex cases.
* Representing the team at PREVENT, HRDA and MARAC meetings.
* Providing signposting where appropriate, directing individuals to the relevant team or partner agency.
* Achieving performance targets on the number of calls and online referrals you complete, as well as the quality of your responses.
