Pertemps are recruiting for experienced Adult’s Social Worker in Islington

Responsibilities

• Islington’s Take home and settle service provides a short-term service which is provided up to (7-days) for Islington residents discharged from hospital.
• The service typically provides basic support which includes the initial assessment home for the patient in their own home to carry out a few simple but vital checks and tasks to ensure the patient can recover effectively in their home.
• Follow-up visits and calls are then provided to build confidence and signpost to other statutory or voluntary services.
• As a Social Worker you will be carrying out the full spectrum of statutory responsibilities under the Care Act, Mental Capacity Act and other related law and policy.
• You will be expected to carry out your role in a strengths-based way, to a high quality, and always seeking to reflect on and continually improve your practice.
• You will be fully committed to working in partnership with residents, carers, community-based organisations and other key professionals involved in enabling people to be as independent as they possibly can. You will have a comprehensive understanding of the impact a well-functioning resident facing team will have on people in need of care and support and their carer’s, as well as the council and adult social care department as a whole, in contributing towards maximising people’s independence and managing the demand on council services.
• In your social work practice you will prioritise delaying and preventing need for social care intervention by having strengths-based conversations with people, taking a relationship-based and person-centred approach so that all informal sources of support are made best use of and people can continue living life in the way that they wish.
• The post holder will report to the Take home and settle Senior Practitioner for all operational activities. Flexible working across the hospital discharge service will be required to fit in with the needs of the service.
