Social Worker (Adults CarePoint 2)
Based in Horsham
£27668-£33437 per annum
Full-time, permanent
Interview Date: TBC Adult Care Point 2 (ACP2) provides a first point of contact for customers requiring a needs assessment under the Care Act 2014. ACP2 also provides an access and triage point for adult safeguarding referrals.

Team members will begin, and in some circumstances complete, a statutory needs assessment with adult customers who are approaching WSCC for social care support. In most cases we will provide advice, information and signposting or prescribe equipment to support people to remain independent. Where appropriate, those people requiring on-going face to face assessment will be passed to locality teams.
The service is responsible for receiving and prioritising adult safeguarding referrals and ensuring actions are taken to address immediate risks where necessary and making decisions on which cases need to be passed to locality teams for further enquiry.

Social Workers in the team are responsible for undertaking more complex case work, particularly safeguarding. They will support the triage of assessment and safeguarding referrals and will provide support and, dependent on experience, supervision to Assessment Officers.

We also offer an attractive benefits package including a childcare voucher scheme, flexible working and Local Government Pension Scheme.

When applying, please ensure that you address the key skills as listed in the role profiles or your application will not be considered.
