Calling All Qualified Social Workers who are registered with Social Work England

Come join us in Doncaster Adult Social Care if you want to get back to what you trained for-
Value driven, rights-based practice. People before processes. Supporting Doncaster residents to live their best lives. Shaping and developing practice and services alongside colleagues and people with lived experience. Working with a great team to collectively serve the people of Doncaster.




Above all we want someone who shares our vision and values described in our Practice Framework.

We have a range of exciting new opportunities for newly qualified social workers and experienced social workers across Doncaster.



We are looking for motivated and ambitious social workers with a passion for enabling people in Doncaster to live in the place they call home with the people and things that they love, in communities where they look out for one another, doing things that matter to them.



You will play a key role in the development and implementation of the locality-based approach, using creative ways to support people to live the lives they choose, helping them to stay in control whilst improving their confidence, connecting them with their local communities and supporting them to flourish.



As a Social Worker within our teams, you will promote and embed our practice framework which is based on strong, legally literate, and rights-based practice. The roles will involve undertaking holistic, good conversations with adults, carers, and families to help them make informed choices and decisions based on what matters to them.



1 x vacancy for a full-time social worker is for the Integrated Discharge Team. Home First Directorate. The post is based in our Discharge, Assessment and Review team working with people and their carers for the first six weeks post discharge. It is a community-based post located at the Civic Office covering all the city and includes hybrid working.



This post is a seven-day working position that will require the post holder to weekend work in Doncaster Royal Infirmary to support and plan discharges on a rotational basis. The two non-working days are then taken for weekend working. This attracts an additional allowance of 0.5% to your salary. This is a very fast paced environment working to short timeframes and requires an organised approach and ability to work with several people and families concurrently.



In return for your hard work and dedication, we can offer you the chance to be part of a great team dedicated to ensuring that all people in Doncaster thrive. You will also have access to a variety of attractive employee benefits including competitive leave entitlement, a generous local government pension scheme, a wide range of well-being support and development opportunities. You will also have access to a range of staff discount and benefits schemes. More information on the benefits available to you as a City of Doncaster Council employee can be found in the attached benefits book.
