Summary

We have an exciting opportunity within our South Cumbria Hospital Social Work Team, for a passionate, enthusiastic person to come and join our dedicated and driven team, following an ambitious programme of change within Adults Social Care, to help us develop and deliver our goals for the future.

Our South Cumbria Hospital Social Work Team works collaboratively with a range of stakeholders across the health and social care system in South Cumbria to provide short term assessment and interventions as well as ensure people are supported to manage risk in a positive way, whilst promoting independent outcomes.

A key function of the Hospital Social Work Team is to ensure people can achieve the best outcomes during and post discharge by working closely with our colleagues in the Transfer of Care Hub and engaging in Multi-Disciplinary Discussions and Early Social Work Interventions to ensure people are discharged from both acute and community hospitals in a safe and timely way.
