Applications are welcomed from experienced Social Workers. Please note, due to current service capacity, we are unable to support Social Workers undertaking their Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) within this team.

Role Purpose

As a Social Worker within the Transition to Adult Social Care team, you will support young people and their families as they prepare for adulthood, ensuring a smooth and person-centred transition into adult services.

You will undertake Care Act assessments, reviews, mental capacity assessments, safeguarding enquiries and Court of Protection work, supporting individuals to live as independently as possible.

This role offers the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with young people, focusing on strengths-based approaches and enabling positive, long-term outcomes as they move into adult life.

If you are passionate about supporting young people and their families at a pivotal stage in their lives, this role offers a supportive and innovative environment to grow and develop.

Key Responsibilities
Undertake strengths-based Care Act assessments, reviews and support planning, including risk assessment
Complete Mental Capacity Assessments, Safeguarding Enquiries and Court of Protection work
Manage a varied caseload, ensuring plans are personalised, outcome focused, proportionate and reviewed regularly
Work directly with young people and families, promoting independence and informed decision-making
Undertake carers assessments in line with statutory responsibilities
Respond to referrals and urgent situations as part of a Triage system, including crisis intervention
Prepare clear, professional assessments and reports to inform decision-making

Experience or strong interest in working with adults
Ability to manage risk and make sound professional decisions
Strong communication skills, including working with individuals with a range of communication needs
Ability to work collaboratively across agencies while maintaining a clear social work perspective
Commitment to promoting independence, dignity and inclusion

About the Team/Service

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Transition to Adult Social Care Team and be part of the ongoing My Life My Futures programme; developing your practice within a team that values reflection, learning and development.

You will join a busy, supportive and experienced Transition team, which sits within the wider Learning Disabilities service working alongside Social Workers and Adult Social Care Practitioners.

You will work within a collaborative, multi-agency environment, building strong relationships with Children’s Social Care, the SEND Team, Education partners, health colleagues and local services

The team focuses on enabling young people to:
Consider how they would like their adult life to look
Raise their aspirations and the aspirations of their families
Live as independently as possible
Remain connected to their communities
Have choice and control over their lives

Additional Information

Please Note: We may consider offering Skilled Worker visa sponsorship to suitably qualified overseas social workers who are already residing in the UK. To be eligible, applicants must hold a recognised social work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. Sponsorship will be assessed as part of the recruitment process. This is only available to candidates currently living in the UK, as unfortunately we are unable to provide resettlement support.

Due to the nature of the role and the geographical area of the service across Somerset, which is a largely rural county, with limitations around public transport the ability to be able to travel to any location is essential. Therefore, applicants must have full access to a vehicle that can be used for work purposes.

For an informal chat about the role, you can contact: Helen Readdy – Recruitment & Engagement Officer, Adults – [email protected]

Please note we reserve the right to close this advert early if we have received a sufficient number of applications, so don’t delay, apply today!

(If you are an internal applicant, please apply via the internal careeers site)
