Adult’s Social Worker
Liquid Personnel is recruiting an Adult’s Social Worker to join its client’s North Wellbein team, based in Stoke-on-Trent. This is an excellent opportunity for a dedicated practitioner to support adults aged 18 and over, primarily those with physical disabilities and long-term care and support needs, through strengths-based and person-centred social work practice.
The successful candidate will manage a varied community-based caseload, undertaking Care Act assessments, reviews, safeguarding interventions, and support planning to help individuals maximise their independence and wellbeing. Working closely with service users, carers, health professionals, and partner agencies, you will play a key role in ensuring adults receive appropriate support whilst promoting choice, control, and positive outcomes.
This role requires a confident Social Worker who can work independently, undertake community visits, participate in the duty rota, and manage competing priorities within a busy Adult Social Care service.
Responsibilities
- Managing a caseload of adults aged 18+ with physical disabilities, long-term conditions, and complex care and support needs.
- Undertaking Care Act 2014 assessments, reviews, reassessments, and support planning to identify eligible needs and achieve positive outcomes.
- Developing, implementing, and reviewing person-centred Care and Support Plans that promote independence, wellbeing, and choice.
- Undertaking Mental Capacity Assessments and contributing to Best Interest decision-making in accordance with the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
- Responding to safeguarding concerns and undertaking safeguarding interventions in line with Adult Safeguarding legislation and local procedures.
- Assessing and managing risk appropriately, balancing individual choice with safety and positive risk-taking.
- Participating in the team duty rota, responding to referrals, urgent situations, and undertaking duty visits where required.
- Conducting home visits and community-based assessments to ensure individuals receive timely and effective support.
- Working collaboratively with health professionals, community services, care providers, carers, families, and partner agencies to coordinate services and support.
- Promoting strengths-based practice and supporting individuals to access community resources, informal networks, and preventative services.
- Maintaining accurate, timely, and legally compliant records using the Liquidlogic case management system.
- Participating in multidisciplinary meetings, safeguarding discussions, reviews, and case conferences as required.
