Adult Safeguarding Social Worker

Autonomous Working | Hybrid Flexibility | Safeguarding-Focused Role

 

Are you an experienced Adult Social Worker who thrives in safeguarding and enjoys managing complex work independently? This is an excellent opportunity to join a dedicated Adult Safeguarding Team, where you'll play a key role in protecting vulnerable adults and delivering high-quality statutory interventions.

 

You'll benefit from a hybrid working arrangement, with just 1–2 days per week in the office, making this an ideal opportunity for someone based locally who is looking for greater flexibility.

 

As this is a permanent role, we understand how frustrating lengthy local authority recruitment processes can be. That's why we work closely with hiring managers on your behalf to help streamline the process and get you started as quickly as possible.

 

Within this role, you'll manage a caseload focused on Section 42 safeguarding enquiries, working confidently at pace to assess risk, coordinate interventions, and achieve positive outcomes for adults at risk of abuse or neglect.

 

Alongside safeguarding work, you'll complete Care Act assessments, reviews, and support planning, ensuring all interventions are person-centred, strengths-based, and compliant with statutory legislation.

 

This is a role suited to someone who is confident working autonomously, can prioritise competing demands effectively, and is comfortable making sound professional decisions in a fast-paced environment.

 

You'll work closely with a wide range of partner agencies, including health professionals, care providers, housing services, and the police, to ensure safeguarding concerns are managed effectively and individuals receive the right support at the right time.

 

You'll be joining a supportive service that values experienced practitioners, encourages professional autonomy, and recognises the importance of delivering timely, high-quality safeguarding practice.
