The posting

Liquid Personnel is recruiting Social Worker for its client's Home First Team at Dorset.

This is an excellent opportunity for a dedicated practitioner to support adults through a Home First and Discharge to Assess model, ensuring individuals can return home from hospital safely, promptly, and with the appropriate level of support.

The successful candidate will play a key role within a multi-disciplinary partnership involving health professionals, social care, and Home, Independence and Crisis Support services. You will undertake strengths-based assessments, discharge planning, safeguarding interventions, Mental Capacity Assessments, and Court of Protection work where required, ensuring individuals achieve the best possible outcomes whilst maximising their independence within the community.

This role will involve travel to acute and community hospitals across Dorset, alongside community visits and attendance at the office to support duty functions.

What will your responsibilities be?

  • Managing a caseload of adults requiring assessment, intervention, and support to facilitate safe and timely discharges from hospital.
  • Adopting a Home First and Discharge to Assess approach to ensure individuals return home wherever appropriate before longer-term support needs are determined.
  • Leading on social work assessments for complex hospital discharges, ensuring effective discharge planning in line with statutory responsibilities and best practice.
  • Undertaking strengths-based Care Act Assessments to identify eligible needs, personal outcomes, strengths, and available community resources.
  • Conducting Mental Capacity Assessments and applying the principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 to support informed decision-making.
  • Undertaking Best Interests decision-making where individuals are assessed as lacking capacity to make specific decisions.
  • Completing Court of Protection work, including the preparation of reports, assessments, and supporting documentation where required.
  • Assessing and managing risk to ensure safe discharge arrangements and ongoing safety within the community.
  • Developing, implementing, and reviewing person-centred care and support plans that promote independence, wellbeing, and recovery.
  • Coordinating services including reablement, intermediate care, community support services, equipment, adaptations, and long-term care provision where necessary.
  • Working collaboratively with ward staff, therapists, discharge coordinators, GPs, community teams, housing providers, voluntary sector organisations, carers, and families to ensure seamless transitions of care.
  • Identifying and responding to safeguarding concerns in accordance with the Care Act 2014 and local safeguarding procedures.
  • Participating in duty functions, responding to urgent referrals and prioritising workload effectively within a fast-paced environment.
  • Attending acute and community hospitals across Dorset to facilitate assessments and discharge planning activities.
  • Maintaining accurate, timely, and comprehensive case records, assessments, and reports in line with legislative and professional standards.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
