About the Role

Here’s your chance to be the kind of social worker who actually makes systems better. This role is part of the Enhanced Primary Mental Health Service (EPMHS)—designed to support people who often don’t get seen or heard in traditional models. You’ll offer expert social care input across a varied caseload, managing care planning, safeguarding, and outcomes-focused assessments.

You’ll be seen, trusted, and relied upon.

Think of this as more than a job. It’s a place to grow, collaborate, and genuinely shift things forward in mental health care.

• Deliver social care assessments rooted in personalisation and dignity
• Coordinate care plans that prioritise choice and independence
• Act as a lead on safeguarding and statutory social care responsibilities
• Supervise staff delivering social support, sharing your knowledge and experience
• Champion mental health rights, inclusion, and lived experience
