  • You will complete high-quality reviews, including needs assessments, care and support planning and safeguarding enquiries, ensuring plans remain strengths-based, proportionate, outcome focused and promote independence.
  • In all aspects of your practice, you will promote dignity, choice and wellbeing, using sound professional judgement to balance safety, independence and positive outcomes.
  • A key aspect of the role will be working collaboratively with a wide range of colleagues across different functions and partner organisations.
  • You will maintain accurate, timely and confidential records in line with professional and council standards.

Advanced Social Worker Additional Responsibilities:

  • Drawing on research and evidence-based practice, you will lead on more complex and high-risk cases, applying advanced professional judgement and taking responsibility for key decisions.
  • Acting as a role model, you will support and develop best practice across the team through advice, mentoring and shared learning.
  • You will contribute to workforce development, including supporting and supervising students on placement.
  • In line with advanced practitioner expectations, you will maintain up-to-date core training and actively engage in continuing professional development.

What we need from you
  • It is essential that you hold a recognised professional qualification in social work as well as registration with Social Work England.
  • You will bring significant experience in adult social care, with a strong understanding of the Care Act 2014, Mental Capacity Act, and safeguarding procedures.
  • We require you to have experience with Continued Health Care (CHC), including completing CHC checklists.

Advanced Social Worker Additional Requirements:

  • We are looking for someone who can bring significant post-qualification experience, including working with individuals with complex needs.
  • You must evidence advanced level practice, demonstrating high-quality professional reasoning, sound judgement and leadership in complex situations.
  • You will be expected to take a lead role in supporting practice development, contributing to and promoting high standards across the team.


What you need to know
  • We're building and shaping communities which people are proud of.
  • We're working with the most vulnerable in our community to help them achieve what they want in life.
  • We're investing in our schools to ensure every child and young person in South Gloucestershire achieves their full potential.

We've achieved a great deal, but we need talented and dedicated people to ensure we continue to make a difference.
