The Adult Services team in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. We love it when our work touches lives. Take Stepping to the Beat, our 3k walk, jog or run for people with learning or physical disabilities or Autism, their families and carers. It's a life-affirming, music-based event Coreen and Claudia are massively proud of - and they were keen for people to spread the word.

As Practice Manager with our Adult Services team you can make your own powerful contribution to Westminster's success. Providing team members with your managerial knowledge and expertise, you'll promote professional standards and good practice compliant with current legislation. Coordinating the supported accommodation and placement panel and ensuring that our mental health service users are accommodated appropriately, we expect you to ensure there is ongoing use of all relevant housing resources.

Carrying a caseload that includes complex assessments, court proceedings and joint work, you'll undertake continuous risk assessment for users who work with the team, and keep up to date with the latest research in relation to mental health and social care legislation. Promoting the highest professional standards, and undertaking audits of social work practice, we'll also require you to manage safeguarding enquiries and identify child protection issues, and if required, implement the relevant procedures.

Accountable for reviewing key performance indicators and taking appropriate action to manage areas of concern, you'll ensure systems are in place to monitor service delivery, and quality and financial standards are met. In addition, you'll help to provide relevant learning and development interventions to meet individual, team and service needs, and make sure that staff receive regular supervision of their practice.

With plenty of experience working in the community with people who suffer from severe mental health problems, you'll have good knowledge of the legislation, guidance and best practice that underpins adult social work and care. Capable of translating statutes into excellent policy and practice, you'll also be a skilled chair and constructive participant in a variety of meeting environments, possess the ability to define work for your colleagues, and prioritise and delegate appropriately.

You should have excellent assessment skills, be ready to make effective decisions under pressure, have the confidence to manage high-risk situations, and your clear leadership and team management skills will allow you to provide motivating guidance to all the disciplines involved in our duty and out of hours services. We'll also look for experience of working in culturally diverse communities, and the ability to maintain effective working relationships with multi-disciplinary teams and other external agencies.

Flexible, respectful and able to reflect and evaluate your practice, you'll be an inspirational team and collaborative team worker who's ready to work in a potentially stressful environment while prioritising your workload. You should also have good IT skills, a Dip SW or its equivalent, be registered with Social Work England and hold additional professional qualifications relevant to the post.
