The Transition Team, based in Woking or Redhill, is a dynamic and vibrant countywide service for young people aged between 14 and 25. Although we sit in Adult Social Care, our journey with the people we support starts much earlier at academic year 9. Within Surrey County Council, the Transition Team sits in a unique and favourable position of being able to undertake frontline work across both Children and Adult Services. We work with young people who have a wide range of additional needs and complex conditions. We challenge inequality and traditional responses to service delivery and ensure that we employ a strength-based approach to our work. This facilitates a more innovative approach to our support planning processes thereby realising more outcome focused goals for the young people we support and their families. We believe in coproduction and feel passionately that the young person should be firmly in control of their life outcomes. Supporting them through the Preparation for Adulthood agenda, we also ensure that our young people have aspirational goals and targets that will support them into employment pathways, independent living and all other meaningful occupation. Working in the Transition Team, you will benefit from a rich tapestry of experience. We are remodelling approaches from traditional institutional approaches as we challenge inequalities that prevent young people with disabilities and their carers from living a life free of discrimination and limitations. We work with a wide range of professionals and providers who enable us to look at an individual's needs holistically and consider our service response from a whole family perspective. We are looking for enthusiastic and dynamic qualified and registered Senior Social Workers. For this role you will need to have completed your Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE). We recognise there will be exceptions to this so please speak to us if you are in any doubt. We are looking for social workers who believe it is important to ensure people have choice and control over their own support needs. We want people who are committed, like us, to focus on the person, their strengths and networks rather than routinely assessing people for services and eligibility. We want colleagues who will look first at what people can do rather than what they can't do and have conversations that identify what is important to the person, 'what matters' rather than 'what's the matter'. We believe that by exploring people's goals and aspirations, and the strengths they have themselves or around them, we can help people to stay independent for longer and connected to their communities. If you hold the same values and ethos as we do, please come and join up and help us continue to develop our strength-based practice model. The Transition Team is a constantly evolving, fast paced service, where we like to keep challenging ourselves to achieve best practice and outcomes. We are a resilient team that is both welcoming and value driven. Working with us will provide you with opportunities for professional and personal growth as well as positive career advancement opportunities. We also fully understand the challenges of day to day frontline social work, therefore we are putting tools in place to improve your work/life balance and to try and make day to day tasks more manageable. We are currently rolling out hybrid devices which have a touch screen, detachable keyboard and will enable staff to access systems such as LAS when working with clients. The new devices will allow colleagues to change the way they work and to help avoid unnecessary travel.

In response to growing number of Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children coming into care in Surrey, Surrey County Council are forming a new specialist Children Looked After team focused on Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children . This team will be dedicated to enabling these children to achieve a strong identity, whilst also helping them to achieve their maximum potential. Based in Redhill but working across all four Surrey quadrants (Redhill, Woking, Guildford and Walton upon Thames), this team led by a Team Manager will be made up of Social Workers and Senior Social Workers. Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children face similar experiences to all children who come into care. They may have experiences of trauma, of abuse but in addition to that, these children come to the UK primarily because of issues in their country of origin, and they may have been witness to, exposed to, involved in conflict, or in violence and war. For these children there is a heightened sense of isolation due to cultural differences and language differences, or because they now need to learn in a new educational system. These children are struggling to cope with all of this without any family being there for them. So, we are looking for social work professionals who are sensitive to the experiences of these children, and who are able to work closely with them to help them settle in the UK. The rewarding part of the work you will do, will be having the opportunity to work closely with a child and seeing them through their whole journey. You will have the opportunity to be by their side from the time they come to the UK, with all the trauma that they may have brought with them, and then to see the outcome after a few years.

As well as supporting young people in their transition to becoming independent and moving to the Leaving Care Team at the age of 18 years. As a Senior Social worker you will require to demonstrate the same understanding as explained above, but you will be expected to deal with the more complex issues presented by young people. Professionally we will support you through training such as motivation interviewing, carrying out Age Assessments and a range of other skills. We also have very good links with our partner agencies and collaborate in our training, so we are all on the same page when we are talking about outcomes for our children. Within the unaccompanied asylum-seeking children team we have particularly good links to solicitors and barristers who specialise in working with these children. So, for our social workers being involved in those discussions is a hugely rewarding learning process. We also want to hear from social workers who may not have experience in these areas but are passionate and want to gain experience. Because we do have opportunities for learning and development, so any social workers who are interested in this and are keen to learn would be very welcome.

Spanning both inner and outer London, it is a borough of huge contrasts in terms of its economic, environmental, ethnic and social make up.

The Post This is a new and unique service in the London Borough of Brent and has been created to provide targeted support for individuals with intersecting complex needs, particularly those with vulnerability and experience of exclusion that impacts on their mental health and wellbeing. These individuals would not normally be eligible for support from adult social care, as they do not meet the criteria set out in the Care Act. They may be under primary care for mental health, and are less likely to be managed long term under secondary mental health, potentially due to their reduced ability to engage. The SMART Service is a creative response to work with people within the Borough who often have a cycle of homelessness, mental health admissions, drug and alcohol dependencies and contact with Criminal justice and probation services. Their multiple complex needs requires a more holistic response in order for them to be able to move forward and until now there has not been a targeted provision for this group of people.

Utilising your social work strengths in communication and engagement you will support service users who traditionally have found it difficult to maintain a relationship with professionals.

We will be utilising a strengths based approach in our work with complex service users with multiple needs. We are looking for a social worker who is creatively able to comprehensively assess people's vulnerabilities and risks and identify ways in which service users can be supported. You will assess people who are marginalised and difficult to engage, they may be Care Act eligible and at risk of significant harm. You will utilise your social work skills to identify and mobilise services, commission packages of care and safeguard our service users. You will need to be able to work creatively with an assertive outreach approach. What can you expect? To be part of a dynamic team with expertise in mental health and social care that embraces creative ways of working. Weekly wellbeing and reflective practice sessions are embedded into the team's practice. Closing Date: 09 March 2021 (23:00) Additional Information Brent Council values the diversity of its community and aims to have a workforce that reflects this and therefore encourage applications from all sections of the community.
