Social Worker (Newcastle City Council working into Newcastle Hospitals). We have two social worker opportunities available.
We could list what we want from you, but you can find that out from the person specification. Instead, we asked one of the current post-holders to tell you why you should apply:
“Join a team where you'll feel valued, supported, and inspired. This is the best job I have had in social work, and I strongly believe you will not learn more elsewhere.
There is a real sense of teamwork and belonging, and you'll quickly discover that you're never facing challenges on your own. From the moment you join, you'll be welcomed into a warm and supportive environment where colleagues look out for you and help where they can.
You will also have experienced managers within the hospital, from whom you'll get accessible day-to-day guidance, regular formal supervision, and informal support whenever you need it.
This is the perfect role to develop your social work skills. You will face unique situations, challenges, and really feel that you can have a positive impact for the residents of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. No day is the same, and you will work with individuals from a range of backgrounds who are facing a variety of challenges. In addition, you will work with a wide variety of professionals, from whom you will also learn,to achieve the best outcomes for the adults who need help to leave hospital and for their carers.
You’ll have the privilege of supporting people and their families during a difficult time in their lives and help them to navigate change. This is extremely rewarding.”
