    Children' Senior Social Worker Safeguarding - Basildon, Essex, United Kingdom - Your

    Default job background
    Description
    This is a 12 month fixed term contract or secondment opportunity.

    The team are comprised of Social Workers, Occupational Therapists and Behaviour Advisors and work alongside adults and young people with a complexity of needs related to their Learning Disability, Autism, Mental or Physical Health or a combination of these.

    The focus of this role will be working with young people with autism , either in hospital, detained under the Mental Health Act or on the dynamic support register (i.e. at risk of that detention or hospital admission to an assessment and treatment unit).

    This role requires your skills in assessment, using the relevant legal frameworks, including the Care Act, Mental Capacity Act and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards legislation.

    The role will need your skills in carrying out detailed assessment of need, working closely with the young person, their families, health and education partners to ensure the person is supported to transition smoothly through to adult services.

    This role will work closely with health partners in both inpatient and community settings to prevent admission or placement breakdown, or to follow a discharge pathway, including identifying opportunities for these young people once they leave hospital.

    It is a great opportunity for either an experienced social worker looking for career progression or an existing Senior Social Worker wishing to broaden their experience outside of quadrant-based work.

    Managing your own complex caseload, as well as supporting colleagues with theirs, you'll be a source of specialist advice around autism and enable the mitigation of high levels of risk.

    You'll also bring your professional expertise to contribute to the development of practice standards and our four key principles of prevention, early intervention, enablement and safeguarding.

    Care Act assessment with associated care and support planning
    Working with colleagues in Education and health around the Education, Health and Care plans (EHCP)

    Taking part in a range of case conferences, court attendance, meetings, and statutory reviews, pro-actively taking the lead when a social care perspective is required.

    This will include s117 aftercare planning and presentation to relevant forums, i.e., S117 panel and Adult Social Care forums.
    To apply, you should be a qualified worker with current Social Work England registration.

    You will have a real interest in relationship-based work, with a focus on building independence through a positive approach to risk and the strengths-based model.

    You'll bring significant experience of social work, modelling good practice and providing advice and guidance specifically related to the transition through to adulthood.

    A sound knowledge of both the Children's Act and Care Act would be beneficial.

    There would be an expectation of a significant knowledge base around autism or neurodiversity, though there is scope for additional focussed training for the right applicant.

    Sound knowledge of the legislative framework that supports the work we do with adults with learning disabilities, mental health difficulties and/or autism.

    Experience of working in this field, either in direct care provision or social care
    Evidence of continuing professional development and capability of practice in accordance with current professional standards.

    The right applicant will have a strong commitment to build on their existing skills and their knowledge to support the shaping of future services.

    An in-depth understanding of the financial implications of commissioned care packages.
    The ability to make clear decisions, to highlight and limit potential risks associated with intervention
    This role involves travelling around Essex and beyond.

    A driving licence and car - or the ability to meet the mobility requirements of the role through other means - is essential.

    We'll support you to be your best...
