Wirral employs the 3 Conversations approach (3C’s) throughout all Adult Social Care teams. The model’s ethos is to uncover each individual’s skills and aspirations in order to maximise independence and well-being. If you are a qualified social worker seeking for a profession that allows you to make a difference, we have chances for you in Adult Social Care for Social Workers and Experienced Social Workers:

Working with Integrated Community Coordination Teams (ICCTs) involves conducting strengths-based Care Act assessments and person-centred support planning for service users aged 18 and up. The work is multifaceted, and the goal is to promote the well-being of adults with care and support needs in order to consistently improve their results while also establishing long-term connections with their community.

Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub The MASH team is a well-established Social Work team that helps vulnerable individuals who are experiencing or at danger of abuse or neglect. MASH’s role is to screen and fulfil Safeguarding S42 queries, collaborating closely with the individual and our partner agency.

Experienced Social Workers are needed to work with a small team of Best Interest Assessors (BIA) in the Council’s Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoL) program. The BIA will conduct DoLS assessments on individuals who are or may be deprived of their liberty. The BIA will also assist with the duty function and provide advice and direction to other BIAs in Adult Social Care as needed.

CICC is a rehabilitation service that offers social admissions to complement Arrowe Park Hospital. This is a multi-agency team that collaborates with an individual to determine the patient’s discharge destination.
