Mental Health Social Worker

London Borough of Newham

Up to £35 per hour

Are you an experienced and compassionate Social Worker with a passion for mental health? The London Borough of Newham is seeking a dedicated professional to join our team on a contract basis. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of residents.

The Role

As a Mental Health Social Worker, you will be an integral part of our integrated mental health service, working closely with health partners to provide comprehensive support to adults with mental health needs. This role offers a blend of office-based and community work, with a requirement to be in the office twice a week to foster team collaboration.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Community-Based Assessments : Conducting a range of statutory and non-statutory assessments in the community, including comprehensive Care Act assessments to determine individuals' needs for care and support.
  • Mental Capacity and Safeguarding : Carrying out Mental Capacity Act assessments and safeguarding enquiries to protect vulnerable adults from abuse or neglect.
  • Case Management : Managing a complex caseload, including attending tribunals and facilitating hospital discharges to ensure a smooth transition back into the community.
  • Multi-Disciplinary Collaboration : Working effectively with colleagues from health, housing, and the voluntary sector to provide holistic, person-centred care plans.
  • Crisis Intervention : Responding to mental health crises and providing support to individuals and their families to de-escalate situations and ensure safety.
  • Statutory Compliance : Ensuring all work is compliant with relevant legislation, including the Mental Health Act and the Care Act.

About You

You will be a qualified Social Worker with a degree in social work or an equivalent qualification, and be registered with Social Work England. You should have significant experience in a mental health setting, a strong understanding of relevant legislation, and the ability to manage complex and high-risk situations. Excellent communication, assessment, and report-writing skills are essential.

If you are a proactive and resilient professional committed to promoting recovery and independence for adults with mental health needs, we would love to hear from you
