This role requires a Social Work Qualification with a minimum of 2 years of post qualified experience
About the team
The fast-paced team works to independently undertake cases to facilitate safe discharges in a timely manner. In this role, assessing risk factors will be important to then follow and create care plans/ packages (Care act 2014) for the patients to be discharged, and making sure this is done at the right time. We are a new supportive team of social workers who are based at Wythenshawe hospital in South Manchester. The team has a 'home first' approach where we aim to safely assess people in hospital and support them to return home, or if they are unable to, complete assessments for 24hr care. The role includes duty work, attending board rounds and working closely with health colleagues to get best outcomes for patients.
About you

Experience in working with children and adults is important to be able to build a rapport with the patient. Ability to help them express their needs and make informed decisions and contribute to service planning lends well to this role.
