Experienced Social Worker (Adults)

We have an exciting opportunity for a temporary Social Worker to join the Initial Contact Team in Adult Care. The successful candidate will join a friendly, supportive and dynamic team. We are committed to providing good quality supervision and continuing professional development opportunities. The Initial Contact Team is the first point of contact for Adult Social Care and through strength-based conversations we aim to understand and where possible resolve issues raised. The role entails working in partnership with adults and careers to provide information and advice and signpost where possible, alongside assessing need and arranging outcome focused support plans as appropriate. Swindon Vision and Priorities: By 2030, Swindon will have all of the positive characteristics of a British city with one of the UK’s most successful economies; a low-carbon environment with compelling cultural, retail and leisure opportunities and excellent infrastructure. It will be a model of well managed housing growth which supports and improves new and existing communities. Swindon will be physically transformed with existing heritage and landmarks complemented by new ones that people who live, work and visit here will recognise and admire. It will remain, at heart, a place of fairness and opportunity where people can aspire to and achieve prosperity, supported by strong civic and community leadership.
