Hoop Social Work are recruiting an experienced Social Worker to join a Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) within Swansea Council's Adult Services for an initial 3-month contract.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Social Worker looking for a role that offers a good balance of office-based, home-working and community-based practice.

The Role

As a Social Worker within the CMHT, you will:

• Work with adults, carers and families to assess needs, strengths and risks and identify appropriate support.

• Act as a Care Coordinator, developing and reviewing person-centred care plans.

• Support individuals to maintain independence and achieve positive outcomes within their communities.

• Assess and manage risk, including safeguarding and the protection of vulnerable adults.

• Work closely with health professionals, carers and partner agencies to coordinate effective packages of care.

• Ensure individuals' views, wishes and rights remain central to planning and decision-making.

• Maintain accurate case records and complete all statutory social work responsibilities.

• Work within relevant legislation, including the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 and Mental Health Act 1983.

• Manage your own caseload with support and supervision from the Team Leader/Senior Practitioner.

• Be office-based in Swansea at least one day per week, covering duty.

• Spend part of your working week visiting service users in their homes and the community.
