Are you looking for an exciting and innovative challenge? Could you bring your experience and passion for improving outcomes for people with social care needs to the City of York. If so, we want to hear from you!
Our principles/what do we do?
York Adult Social Care supports adults, families and informal carers who live in the city to live an enjoyable life as independently as possible. Strengths-based practice underpins what we do and we're motivated by empowering people to find solutions that work for them, striving to listen and enable, rather than direct and prescribe. Our approach focuses on the positive attributes of a person's life and of neighbourhoods, recognising the capacity, skills, knowledge and potential that individuals and communities possess.
Our social work and occupational therapy teams listen to and support people to identify their outcomes, access personal and practical advice, information and support within their local communities and neighbourhoods to help them achieve their goals. We are building back from the pandemic and looking at how we can improve practice and develop our neighbourhood model. It is an exciting time to join us!
Who are we looking for?
Dynamic, motivated, committed and passionate Social workers, occupational therapists and social care workers with knowledge and experience of working with adults. We would love to hear from you if you have excellent communication and problem solving skills, can build trusting relationships with people, colleagues and partners and can work as part of a hard working team of dedicated staff. We have opportunities available across our service including in our Learning Disabilities, Mental Health, Safeguarding, Community, Hospital and Out of Hospital Teams.
We also welcome applicants from newly qualified social workers (Grade 8 £30,022 - £33,063).
