This is an exciting opportunity to join Conwy’s Mental Wellness Team as a Social Worker.
The Mental Wellness Team is a specialist Social Work Mental Health Team that works closely with partner organisations and other services to provide specialist support and interventions for people experiencing complex needs as a result of ongoing psychosocial difficulties.
As a Social Worker within the team, you will undertake assessments and provide therapeutic interventions, alongside consultation, guidance and advice to professionals and other frontline staff. You will also work directly with individuals and their families, offering advice, support and signposting to appropriate services, as well as facilitating onward referrals where required.
The role will have a particular focus on supporting individuals for whom the Local Authority has Section 117 aftercare responsibilities.
We are looking for a psychologically minded, compassionate and non-judgemental Social Worker who is keen to consolidate and further develop their professional skills. This is an excellent opportunity to strengthen your experience in assessment, engagement, therapeutic approaches and professional liaison while working as part of a supportive multidisciplinary environment.
The successful candidate will have access to training and excellent supervisory support, while also being encouraged to work creatively and with a high level of professional autonomy.
Due to the nature of the role, it is essential that you are able to travel regularly throughout the County, including to and from remote locations, sometimes at short notice.
An enhanced level Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check will be required for this role.
This role offers flexible working options for a work life balance. This can include adjusting your working day and hybrid working, ie a balance of office and home working.
