We are a Local Authority committed to serving our community and improving the lives of our residents, and we are currently seeking a motivated and talented Social Worker to join us for an exciting new 3 year project focused on developing our Supported Living Market. We’re looking for individuals with excellent communication skills and the ability to build and maintain strong relationships with colleagues, service users, and healthcare providers. We seek the best talent from the widest pool of people as diversity and inclusion is the key to our success. Reading Borough Council is a Disability Confident Employer and is committed to the recruitment and continued employment of people with disabilities. About the Role: You will hold a varied caseload across supported living services in and out of the Reading Borough and contribute to the team performance and positive outcomes for our residents. You will:
<ul>
<li>work across services to review the people in the services,</li>
<li>work with providers to set, review and meet outcomes.</li>
<li>be proactive in collaborating with others and encourage change in practice</li>
</ul>
 Your skills and experience will be central to the Supported Living project and the ongoing development of priorities for the project, changing ways of working for providers and the council and exploring new ways of working that can enhance the lives of Reading’s residents. Using a strengths-based approach and your unique Social Worker skill set you will support individuals to find solutions, promote wellbeing and healthy occupations through a variety of interventions including provision of equipment, adaptations, moving and handling, goal planning, re/enablement approaches, training providers, collaborative working. You will work closely with the allocated project Occupational Therapist, care providers, Housing Services, and Health colleagues, while operating within the legal framework of relevant legislation, guidance, policies, and procedures.

You will hold a degree in Social Work and be registered with Social Work England. While community experience is beneficial, it is not essential. You will demonstrate a passion for improving services for people, strong influencing skills, and the ability to work collaboratively with team members, providers, and partner organisations. An interest in supported living and in exploring and developing new ways of working is important, along with being open to innovation and change—both as a participant and a leader. The ability to develop and deliver training within their area of expertise is also key.

We currently have around 380 people living in supported living services through accommodation-based services and community outreach. We work with around 50 providers to deliver a range of services from a few hours a week to multiple staff-24/7 services. The project is designed to put people we support, innovation, and outcome-based support planning at the core of the services. We want to work with our supported living providers to improve outcomes for individuals and ensure that everyone in supported living have person centred, strengths based support plans with clear outcomes, that support the person to be as independent as they can be. We want to work with people, their families and providers to:
<ul>
<li>Develop tech-based options</li>
<li>Ensure reablement/enablement approaches are core to services</li>
<li>Evidence Outcome based working is in every support plan and regularly reviewed</li>
<li>Support moves on to independence (where we can)</li>
<li>Ensure people are reaching their potential</li>
<li>Ensure services are co-produced with the people who live in them</li>
<li>Implement the REACH standards throughout the market</li>
</ul>
 We offer excellent support, supervision, and induction. You will have access to our Learning and Development programme and be supported in your career and personal growth with opportunities to learn and develop new professional skills, helping you to build your Continuing Professional Development portfolio and supporting you to grow as a Social Worker.
You’ll be part of a team that relies on each individual to play their part to the best of their ability. As well as the colleagues that you work closely with every day, you’ll also be part of Team Reading, playing your personal part in making Reading a successful and vibrant place.

The scheme will match you with someone who they feel you could support, who may have similar interest’s likes and preferences to yourself.&nbsp; Experience of providing care would be desired but it is not essential.&nbsp;&nbsp;
