Staff in the team assist residents who are new to Adult Social Care. The team’s key objective is to work preventatively with vulnerable adults and to help them to live as independently as possible by providing them with the tools to be self-sufficient within their existing support networks and communities as well as safeguard them where appropriate.  To achieve these goals, we offer reablement support for up to 6 weeks, and during this period we provide proactive case management support to residents. This involves collaborating with occupational therapists, physiotherapists, community health colleagues and the local authority’s equipment supplier, all working together to help residents live their best lives as independently as possible. </p><p>We are seeking high calibre and creative applicants who, like us, are committed to building on residents’ strengths and their natural support networks, rather than simply assessing people to determine their eligibility for a service. We are looking for social workers who firmly believe that it is essential to give the residents who we serve as much choice and control as possible over their day to day lives. As a social worker, you will also hold a varied caseload working with residents who’s funds may have depleted, completing human rights assessments, and holding more complex cases such as those who may need more intense support.</p><p> </p><p><a href=\"https://fs-filestore-eu.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/Waltham_Forest/govRoleProfiles/Role%20Profile%20-%20Social%20Worker%20Adults%20(1738).pdf\"><strong>>> Click here to download the Role Profile <<</strong></a> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Key Responsibilities:</strong> </p><ul> <li>Engage with individuals, carers, families, groups and communities to assess and intervene preventatively using professional judgment, and develop person-led Support Plans to meet the needs of individuals that promote choice, control and independence.</li> <li>Be able to use a strength-based approach to assessment to support individuals to identify and develop their support networks and consider positive risk taking to enhance their wellbeing. </li> <li>Be able to identify safeguarding concerns if vulnerable residents have experienced harm and carry out section 42 enquiries where needed.</li> <li>Be responsible for delivering high-quality and legally compliant social support in a timely way to agreed standards.</li> <li>To be able to complete court fit mental capacity assessments and engage the resident and their families in any best interest decision where appropriate.</li>\n</ul><p> </p><p><strong>Qualifications and Requirements:</strong> </p><p>To be considered for this position, you will need previous experience in working in adult social care, or be able to demonstrate transferrable skills to meet the needs of this post.

The Council is proud of its rich mix of communities and as the largest employer in the area, it works hard to respond to the changing needs of its population. We use our statutory duties on race, gender and disability equality and best practice in respect of age, faith and sexual orientation to ensure equality of opportunity in the workplace. The Council is committed to meeting its 4 equality objectives: - Promoting equality of opportunity - Opposing all forms of discrimination, intolerance and disadvantage - Ensuring our workforce reflects the diverse communities of Waltham Forest at all levels. - Providing fair, appropriate, accessible and excellent Services to all. Respecting Diversity is a core Council value. </p><p>To support the above and reduce the risk of bias in its recruitment activities, the council is operating an anonymous shortlisting process, which hides personal information that can identify individuals until their application has been considered for shortlisting. The council also operates a scheme whereby, for jobs graded up to and including scale SO2, internal candidates are considered first. This includes those candidates who self-identify as having a disability for the purposes of the Disability Confident scheme. For more information, please refer to our recruitment and selection policy. </p><p>We are keen to support employees to balance their working life with other commitments. Therefore, wherever possible, we will consider working arrangements that suit an individual's personal circumstances whilst still meeting the needs of the Council.
