JOB SUMMARY

 

Full-time and part-time opportunities are available.

If you want to be a part of a team that is innovative, supportive, encourages skill development, and allows you the opportunity to work in a variety of areas within Integrated Adult Social Care and Health, join the Peripatetic Team.

What is a Peripatetic Team?

We provide county-wide support for a range of service needs, such as increased workloads and team vacancies. The rotations you perform will normally last three months, however this can vary.

Wherever possible, we try to organise your rotations around where you reside. Depending on where your rotations take place, you may be able to claim travel fees and time under our Devon County Council policy.

The entire team, comprising two Team Managers, Social Workers, Occupational Therapists, Social Care Assessors, and freshly qualified professionals, works on a peripatetic basis.

About You

You must be a confident, adaptable Social Worker who welcomes change and is willing to rotate between several Devon teams (community, hospital, or specialised).

You will have the opportunity to hone your abilities in areas such as placement supervisor duties, assisting newly qualified workers, peer supervision, and influencing service growth within your team.

The task will vary based on the demand; you will be assessing the needs of persons with a variety of disabilities and medical issues.

As a Social Worker, you will create outcome-focused care plans for a variety of complicated needs while managing risk, as well as provide professional advice, mentoring, and support to others.

You will conduct Safeguarding Enquiries in cases where adults are at danger of abuse or neglect, as well as Mental Capacity Act Assessments and Best Interest determinations to ensure that people can live as independently as possible.

Using a strengths-based approach, you will think creatively and with a focus on people.

What We Can Offer You

  • The Peripatetic Team will provide you with the opportunity to work flexibly, including part-time hours, flexitime, compressed working hours, and homeworking utilising the Hybrid model, all of which contribute to a positive work-life balance.
  • Additionally, we offer one-on-one supervision, peer supervision, and weekly team meetings. You will have the ability to network across teams and get experience in a variety of jobs, ensuring your continuing professional development.
  • Social Worker Career Pathway
  • We have launched the first phase of a new Social Worker Career Pathway in our Adults Services, with positions available at the Social Worker (Grade F) and Experienced Social Worker (Grade G) levels. Our Social Worker and Experienced Social Worker jobs follow the National Professional Capability Framework (PCF) for Social Workers. This framework standardises professional competences and provides a clear career path for local authorities.
  • This is an excellent opportunity to give you with an achievable, clear path for your career, allowing you as a practitioner to reflect on and identify your own practice and progress on the PCF track.
  • If you are shortlisted for an interview, your experience, abilities, and knowledge will be evaluated against the PCF domains, and if judged appointable, you will be assigned to either the Social Worker (Grade F) or Experienced Social Worker level (Grade G).
  • With ongoing learning and support from your line manager, those appointed as Social Workers will be able to demonstrate incremental learning and submit an application for advancement to the Experienced Social Worker (Grade G) via a portfolio of supporting evidence against the PCF framework in due course.

What We Can Offer You

  • We prioritise your professional development and strive to help you maximise your career potential. You will be provided with good support and supervision, as well as regular opportunity to discuss and reflect on your practice with both your line manager and peers.
  • We provide 26 days of annual leave, including bank holidays, which increases to 31 days after 5 years of service.
  • Flexible working options are available, including part-time, flexitime, compressed working hours, and homeworking (according to role requirements; please discuss further during the interview).
  • Opportunity to join a lucrative Local Government Pension Scheme.
  • Devon is an excellent destination to live and work, with high-performing schools, colleges, bustling cities, picturesque villages, and some of the most magnificent coastline and countryside in the United Kingdom. Living and working in Devon as a Social Worker has never been more appealing.
  • Relocation support of up to £10,000 may be available for those moving to Devon, subject to qualifying requirements.
  • Relocation support packages may include visa sponsorship, subject to criteria and circumstances.
  • This position necessitates a DBS disclosure.
