As a Level 2 social worker, you will actively support the team, working closely with health and social care colleagues. This key role requires recent experience in a complex care service. You should have experience supporting staff and managing conflicting priorities as a duty worker, providing advice to reduce risks, maintain client safety, and ensure a strength-based approach.
