£36 per hour  
4-month period to cover maternity leave, with the potential to be extended  
As a Senior Social Worker, you’ll bring expertise, leadership and empathy to a dedicated team working with adults facing severe and enduring mental health challenges. You’ll guide colleagues, manage complex cases and help ensure safe, person-centred care 
In this varied and meaningful role, you’ll support the day-to-day running of the mental health team, deputising for the Team Manager and acting as Duty Manager on a rota. You’ll help screen new referrals, manage triage and safeguarding 
concerns, and ensure duty work is handled efficiently and with care 
You’ll lead by example in multi-agency meetings, offering a clear social work voice in decision-making. You’ll work closely with community mental health teams, voluntary groups and healthcare partners – building relationships that 
improve support and keep people safe. 
While you’ll manage a smaller caseload, you’ll be working on complex cases – from Care Act assessments and safeguarding to court proceedings. You’ll also play an important mentoring role, supervising and supporting newly qualified 
social workers and apprentices.
