Senior Social Worker – Prevention Service
We have launched Living Better Lives in Lancashire, our new strengths-based vision for Adult Social Care. Embedding innovative practice, we aim to make a real difference to the lives of people in our communities by enabling them to live independently in a place they call home.
Collaboration and co-production are central to our approach, working in partnership with community members, carers, organisations, and individuals to shape meaningful outcomes.
The Role
As a Senior Social Worker within our Prevention Service, you will work with individuals at the earliest stage of need:
- Provide information, advice, guidance, and strengths-based support
- Focus on prevention, wellbeing, and personal/community strengths
- Support people to remain independent for longer by accessing appropriate services at the right time
This is a 37-hour per week position, including 1 weekend shift in every 4 rotations.
