Jewish Care is looking for an experienced Social Worker to join our Social Work and Community Support (SWCS) service. You will provide professional social work support to adults across North East and Central London, Essex and Southend, supporting people to maintain their independence, improve their wellbeing and remain safely within their communities.

You will use your professional judgement to assess risk, respond to referrals, identify safeguarding concerns and ensure people receive the right support at the right time. The role also involves providing advice, information and advocacy, helping individuals and carers navigate health and social care systems and access appropriate services.
Partnership working will be an important part of the role. You will work closely with colleagues across Jewish Care and build effective relationships with statutory, voluntary and community organisations.

Experience of community or group work is essential. Experience of working with people affected by mental health, dementia, disability, isolation, end-of-life care or other complex needs is particularly relevant. Experience within the voluntary sector or mental health services would be desirable.
Knowledge of the Jewish community would be advantageous, although a willingness to learn about Jewish life and develop your understanding of the community is essential.
