Job description

Flexible Working | Competitive Pay | Supportive Council Culture

Are you a Social Worker who wants to feel valued, supported, and trusted to do your best work?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a forward-thinking Local Authority that truly understands the realities of frontline social work and puts people first – both residents and staff.

💼 Why This Role Stands Out

✅ Hybrid working – work from home 2 days per week
✅ Flexible hours to support a healthy work–life balance
✅ Collaborative, supportive team culture
✅ Regular supervision and leadership support
✅ A council that genuinely invests in your development and wellbeing

You’ll be part of a Community Adult Social Work Team, working with adults with Learning Disabilities and Physical Disabilities, supporting individuals with complex needs to live safely,倒, independently, and with dignity.

🧠 The Role

• Complete Care Act assessments, reviews, and support planning
• Work with Court of Protection cases and complex decision‑making
• Apply strong knowledge of the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) and Best Interests
• Provide supervision and guidance to junior staff where required
• Work within a multi‑disciplinary team to deliver person‑centred outcomes

This role is ideal for a confident dispatched, experienced practitioner who enjoys autonomy while being well supported.

✅ What You’ll Need

✔ Social Work qualification
✔ Registered with Social Work England (SWE)
✔ Minimum 3 years post‑qualified experience
✔ Proven experience with:

• Court of Protection
• Safeguarding Adults
• Learning Disabilities & Physical Disabilities
• Care Act 2014 & Mental Capacity Act
• Experience supervising staff (or readiness to take on supervision)

💷 Why Work with Leaders in Care?

• Competitive pay rates
• Over 700 five‑star Google reviews
• Weekly check‑ins and ongoing support
• Simple, efficient timesheets & payroll – get paid on time, every time
• Dedicated consultant who understands Adult Social Work
