Job Details

Are you passionate about making a positive and lasting difference for the people of Hull?

The team provides consistent and intensive case management during the initial stages of a service being set up or where the professional view is that support can be reduced over a period of time e.g. over the first years of care. It provides a level of assurance for the management team (DMT) in terms of having oversight across packages of support which may involve a deprivation of liberty and where there is a requirement to regularly review the restrictions which are in place to keep the person safe.

If you are inspired by a challenge and what to make a lasting difference, we look forward to hearing from you.

You will be based in the High Needs team working directly with the specialist mental health and learning disability commissioner to plan, prepare and deliver bespoke services for people with complex needs. You will ensure through ongoing case management that these services continue to meet needs and are best value. Through case management, you will be the specialist social worker for MAPPA and coordinate the mental health provider involvement to ensure there is not duplication of effort.

We are looking for individuals who can demonstrate:

  • a strong value base that informs your work with adults
  • a relentless commitment to quality - and to be able to talk about what good practice 'looks like'
  • a capacity for honest reflection and openness to learning
  • Ability to establish professional, effective working relationships with a range of partners/colleagues, adults, families and their carers
  • You will hold a professional social work qualification registered to Social Work England and will have experience of assessment and planning, initiating, monitoring, developing and providing outcomes-driven services in adult social care.

    There is a fulltime permanent post and a 30 hour fixed term contract to 31 March 2025 to cover the secondment of the permanent postholder.
