The Role: Qualified Social worker 

This is an opportunity for a qualified Social Worker to work with people in a person centred way enabling them to be supported in their local community.

You will work within a diverse and experienced Social Work Team. We are a supportive and friendly team. The team has a mixture of Social Workers and Social Care Workers with a range of skills and talents. 

 We are a learning and teaching team.  We often have students working within the team completing their placements. The Bromsgrove Area Team has monthly reflective sessions where we have speakers and discuss topics relevant to the job or of interest in the work we do. 

There are weekly huddles where the team discuss cases and support each other in finding solutions and/or information to enable them to offer the support people need.

We do encourage both the Social Workers and Social Care Workers to develop areas of interest or expertise that interest them. This may be looking at being a Champion for areas such as Direct Payments or becoming a Practice Educator.
