Job description

Pembrokeshire social services is committed to inclusive, innovative ways of working. We have fully embraced the preventative agenda, leading on a number of initiatives, working in partnership with our colleagues in health and the third sector. We are also leading the way in incorporating models such as Strengths based collaborative communication into everyday practice within adult services. This commitment to positive, strength-based approach is also reflected in our commitment to our staff- to give everyone the opportunity for professional development, gain experience, share their knowledge and reach their potential.

We currently have social worker vacancies in the Joint Discharge Team, an integrated health and social care team based in Withybush Hospital. The role of the team is to support safe discharges from hospital ensuring care and support is in place for those who need it. This is also about signposting to third sector or other professionals and organisations where statutory services may not be needed. The successful candidate will need to be experienced in adult care and be competent in completing integrated assessments and care and support plans, as well as an experience and competence in carrying out capacity assessments, best interests and working generally within the Mental Capacity Act. A working knowledge of Continuing Health care would also be helpful. We have high standards that we would expect you to meet, but in return we can provide a positive work environment, supportive managers, regular supervision and learning opportunities, and friendly, welcoming colleagues.
