Join our fast-paced, dynamic, Adults Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) team and work with skilled practitioners with shared core values, to provide quality safeguarding outcomes to adults with a broad age range and spectrum of needs.
Our Adults MASH team is transforming as part of the department’s commitment to safeguarding practice improvement sponsored by our Principal Social Worker. This includes a fundamental change in the way safeguarding contacts are dealt with at the point of referral, a threefold expansion of the MASH service and the ability for MASH to complete community facing work.
We are county wide and work with adults covering Older adults, Learning Disabilities, Physical Disabilities and Mental Health. We receive all safeguarding referrals from across the county, and strive to promote our Care Act duties, particularly the importance of making safeguarding personal and ensuring access to advocacy services.
You’ll be a social worker with experience of Adult safeguarding and working with complex case work, and be fully conversant with the Care Act (2014) and the safeguarding requirements therein. You’ll have excellent case management skills and risk management experience and be confident in working with complex safeguarding cases and supporting appropriate decision making.
Using your excellent interpersonal and communication skills you’ll work in partnership with individuals to identify their care and support needs, and work closely with other agencies and partners to support this.
With your ability to work autonomously, you’ll demonstrate your IT skills and embrace full use of digital technology to effectively support your work. You’ll use your organisational skills in a high demand environment to efficiently keep records of a high standard. Proactive, you’ll be keen to contribute to the continuous improvement of the service, supporting change and development to improve the quality and delivery of the service.
You’ll be required to work across Hampshire, working from our office base in Fareham and from home. IT equipment for home use will be provided.
You may be required to visit other locations within Hampshire and therefore need to have the ability to travel, as necessary.
In return, we are committed to your continued personal development and offer an extensive Benefits Package. You’ll also have access to excellent staff networks and a mentoring programme.
