Social Workers; Adult Social Care 

Our vision statement for Stockport Adult Social care is :

 “To help the people of Stockport live their best lives possible through promoting independence within our communities, working with our partners and empowering our staff to use an asset-based approach to provide high quality support for residents that is appropriate for their level of need.”

In our Integrated Neighbourhood Teams, we are putting this vision into practice through Social Workers and Social Care Officers carrying out Care Act Assessments, supporting people to manage risks and meet Safeguarding outcomes. We work with adults who have a health or social care need, including people who are on the Autistic spectrum, may have low level mental health needs or have support needs due to alcohol or substance misuse. 

We are transforming the way we deliver health and social care services  by integrating health and social care, bringing the services of GPs, nursing, social care, mental health, community based services and voluntary organizations into a more joined-up system that focusses on a person’s individual needs and provides them with the support to manage their own care.

If you are looking for an opportunity to be part of this forward thinking system, Stockport is the place for you. You will be joining an existing team of health and care professionals who are committed to fundamentally changing the way health and social care is delivered in Stockport, and helping to ensure the best outcomes for our people.

You will need skills and knowledge in:

• Assessment and commissioning services

• Working in a multi-disciplinary environment

• Managing risk

• An understanding of the national trends in social care

We are currently implementing integrated working with colleagues in the wider health and social care economy. This includes contributing to Multi-Disciplinary Team meetings, enhanced case management and weekend working.

We offer all staff regular supervision and training and through a performance development plan the opportunity for continuous self-development. 

We would welcome an informal conversation with you. If you have any queries about working for Stockport please phone Gillian Gill on 474 5300.
