Are you a Social Worker who wants to feel valued, supported, and trusted to do your best work?

 

This is an exciting opportunity to join a forward-thinking Local Authority that truly understands the realities of frontline social work and puts people first – both residents and staff.

 

? Why This Role Stands Out

 

? Hybrid working – work from home 2 days per week
? Flexible hours to support a healthy work–life balance
? Collaborative, supportive team culture
? Regular supervision and leadership support
? A council that genuinely invests in your development and wellbeing

 

You’ll be part of a Community Adult Social Work Team, working with adults with Learning Disabilities and Physical Disabilities, supporting individuals with complex needs to live safely, independently, and with dignity.

 

? The Role

 

You will:

  • Complete Care Act assessments, reviews, and support planning
  • Work with Court of Protection cases and complex decision-making
  • Apply strong knowledge of the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) and Best Interests
  • Provide supervision and guidance to junior staff where required
  • Work within a multi-disciplinary team to deliver person-centred outcomes

 

This role is ideal for a confident, experienced practitioner who enjoys autonomy while being well supported.

 

? What You’ll Need

 

? Social Work qualification
? Registered with Social Work England (SWE)
? Minimum 3 years post-qualified experience
? Proven experience with:

  • Court of Protection
  • Safeguarding Adults
  • Learning Disabilities & Physical Disabilities
  • Care Act 2014 & Mental Capacity Act
  • Experience supervising staff (or readiness to take on supervision)
  •  

 

? Why Work with Leaders in Care?

 

  • Competitive pay rates
  • Over 700 five-star Google reviews
  • Weekly check-ins and ongoing support
  • Simple, efficient timesheets & payroll – get paid on time, every time
  • Dedicated consultant who understands Adult Social Work
