Social Worker - Devon, United Kingdom - Devon County Council
Description
What is the Transitions Adult Social Care (TASC) Team (formally known as the Preparing for Adulthood (PFA) Team?
TASC is a social care team set within Integrated Adult Social Care and Health, with strong links with Children's Services and Education. We work with young people from the age of 14 up until 25 across the Devon County Council footprint. The team comprises of two Team Managers, Social Workers, Social Care Assessors, Occupational Therapists and Business/Information Support Officers.
The TASC team works to the Care Act principles to engage with young people with a disability ensuring that independent living skills are promoted and maximised to facilitate young people's ability to engage with their community, gain employment, and live and enjoy their adult life as independently as possible.
This is an exciting time for the transitions service as we are approaching the second year of our TASC project. This project's overall aim is to improve our joint services in supporting young people in Devon as they plan and make decisions about what their adult life will look like. Over the first year of the project we have shown that effective collaboration with Children's Services, Education and voluntary agencies is improving the outcomes for young people, and those that care for them, as they transition into adulthood.
We are delighted to announce that we are looking to recruit 2 full time Social Workers to join our team as our project enters its second year.
It really is a very crucial time in our project development and the successful applicants for these posts will play a significant part as the TASC team continues to evolve. Being part of this project will require our team to demonstrate flexibility, adaptability, and a commitment to continuous improvement in service delivery.
About You
Are you a Social Worker with experience of:
Such experience would be a great advantage for potential applicants for these Social Work positions in our team.
We are ideally looking for full time workers. However, applicants who can offer part time hours could be considered but would require further discussion at interview.
The TASC team is a Countywide team and is located across the Devon County Council footprint. Therefore, we are not a team who go into an office base each day. However, we pride ourselves on being a supportive and friendly team who communicates and supports each other on a daily basis. Additionally, we provide 1-1 supervision and monthly practice-focussed peer discussions and team meetings. These are a mix of face to face and remote MS Teams meetings.
Social Worker Career Pathway
We have implemented the first phase of a new Social Worker Career Pathway within our Adults Services, with our vacancies available at the Social Worker (Grade F) or Experienced Social Worker (Grade G) levels. Our Social Worker and Experienced Social Worker roles align with the national , which provides a robust structure for all local authorities to use as a way of standardising professional capabilities and provides a clear career pathway.
This is a fantastic opportunity to provide you with an achievable, clear pathway for your career; to enable you as a practitioner to reflect and identify your own practice and development on the PCF pathway.
If successful in being shortlisted for interview, your experience, skills and knowledge, will be assessed against the PCF domains and if found appointable, this will determine your appointment to either the Social Worker (Grade F) or Experienced Social Worker level (Grade G).
With on-going learning and support from your line manager, those appointed as a Social Worker will be able to evidence incremental learning and submit an application in due course for progression to the Experienced Social Worker (Grade G) via a portfolio of supporting evidence against the PCF framework.
What we can offer you
