Job overview

**We offer a relocation package of up to £8,000**

The All Age Disability Service is a social care staff group that transferred to the NHS as part of Health and Social Care Integration Agenda.  A number of opportunities have arisen in our services.

Are you a qualified social worker looking for a new opportunity?  We have vacancies working within children with disabilities teams based at the Millennium Centre in Leasowe, Wirral.

Commensurate with demonstrable level of practice and continued professional development, work within the Standards of conduct, performance and ethics as described by the Health and Care Professional Council (HCPC), ensuring compliance with legal, organisational and multi-agency requirements and working independently carry a caseload and undertake a range of community care and safeguarding assessments of complex or unusual cases including appropriate management of risk. Ensure the safeguarding and duty of care of adults and children, families and carers in ways that balance promotion of well-being, independence choice and control with the need to protect people from abuse and neglect.

Main duties of the job

Our teams work with children with severe learning disabilities and complex disabilities to support them, and their carers, to achieve their outcomes.  CWP is at the forefront of health and social care integration and this service lends itself to developing new, innovative ways of working together.

Within the CWD Teams you will be undertaking single assessments and working with children and young people with complex disabilities through Child in Need, Child Protection and Children who are looked after. You will be a child centred practitioner and will complete support plans, mental capacity assessments, be involved in court work and take the lead on safeguarding enquiries.  Experience of working with people with complex needs is desirable but what is crucial is a genuine wish to work collaboratively with children and young people to meet their goals and aspirations. A good understanding of asset and strength based approaches to assessment and support planning is vital. In return we can offer you a clear career progression framework with a range of training opportunities.
