- Support individuals in hospital settings to facilitate safe and timely discharge back into the community.
- Coordinate support services that prevent unnecessary hospital admissions and promote independent living.
- Work in partnership with health professionals, housing providers, carers, voluntary organisations, and other agencies.
- Assess and manage risk effectively while balancing individual choice, rights, and autonomy.
- Promote active involvement of service users, carers, and families in assessment and care planning processes.
- Maintain accurate case records, assessments, reports, and support plans in accordance with legislative and organisational requirements.
Benefits of the role:
- Competitive hourly rate of £31.97 per hour.
- Opportunity to work within a supportive and experienced Adult Social Care team.
- Diverse and rewarding caseload across the North Shropshire locality.
- Exposure to complex assessment, safeguarding, and hospital discharge work.

- MA, BA, BSc in Social Work, Diploma in Social Work, CQSW, or equivalent recognised Social Work qualification.
- Registered with Social Work England (SWE).
- Significant post-qualified experience within Adult Social Care.
- Strong knowledge of the Care Act 2014, Mental Capacity Act 2005, Adult Safeguarding legislation, and associated statutory guidance.
- Experience undertaking complex assessments, reviews, support planning, and risk management.
- Experience contributing to safeguarding investigations and multi-agency adult protection procedures.
- Previous hospital discharge and community-based social work experience.
- Strong partnership-working skills with health professionals, carers, and statutory and voluntary sector organisations.
