We are county wide and work with adults covering Older adults, Learning Disabilities, Physical Disabilities and Mental Health. We receive all safeguarding referrals from across the county, and strive to promote our Care Act duties, particularly the importance of making safeguarding personal and ensuring access to advocacy services.
You’ll be a social worker with experience of Adult safeguarding and working with complex case work, and be fully conversant with the Care Act (2014) and the safeguarding requirements therein. You’ll have excellent case management skills and risk management experience and be confident in working with complex safeguarding cases and supporting appropriate decision making.

You’ll use your organisational skills in a high demand environment to efficiently keep records of a high standard.

You’ll be required to work across Hampshire, working from our office base in Fareham and from home. IT equipment for home use will be provided.
