Social Worker - EIPH Borough Council

Overview

30 hours per week.

We are on an ambitious journey to achieving a truly co‑productive approach to working with people and their carers. We believe that everyone has strengths, and our mission is to support people to maintain their independence so that they can live their lives well. We believe this starts at the point of first contact with the department. Our Strengths‑Based Model of Practice supports a multidisciplinary approach to enabling and supporting people who live with issues caused by disability, frailty, and ageing.

They will be based within the Early Intervention and Prevention Hub, which includes the short‑term social work, community support workers and the front‑door response in Adult Social Care. The team supports a multidisiplinary approach, with a focus on adults who have multifaceted complex needs and cognitive decline. This service focuses on outcomes for individuals, maximising individual potential and minimising risk to independence, with an emphasis on choice and control.
