Job description

iPeople SC Solutions is recruiting for an Initial Response Social Worker to work for our client based in Exeter, Devon.

Social Worker required in our Initial Response Team on a full-time basis, 37 hours per week, working Monday – Friday.

The Initial response cover:

• Good report writing skills, taking cases to icpcc, taking cases to first hearings completing SWETS care plans and viability assessments.

Up to £40/hour, dependent on the candidate’s experience.

Up to £150 per week accommodation allowance subject to the following criteria:

• This is paid on a reimbursement basis – VAT receipts must be provided to evidence expenditure.
• The candidate must be currently based at least 50 miles, one-way, from the proposed work base.

The council is a mostly rural county, and as our localities cover a large area, candidates can be expected to travel some distance between visits. In some areas, candidates will not be able to rely on walking, cycling, or public transport to make visits. We therefore require candidates to have access to their own suitable transport, subject to reasonable adjustments that may need to be made in line with the Equality Act 2010.
