A globe-trotting tourist called Mr K had a stroke. Hospitalised and very vulnerable, we put a unique plan together for him. He wanted to travel to Germany, but he wasn't well enough. We placed Mr K in a care home to recover. Initially he didn't like it, but our social worker worked hard to encourage him to stay. And he enjoyed the experience so much, he stayed for a year. As he was recovering, Mr K's social worker got him an iPad and a phone to help him manage his finances and arrange his next trip. This enabled him to book his tickets to Germany. 'Auf wiedersehen' and he was gone! The Role: As a Social Worker in our Joint Homelessness Team, you can make your own powerful contribution in the lives of rough sleepers in Westminster. Losing work, relationship breakdown, traumatic life events, mental ill health, or problems with drugs and alcohol can push people already on the brink into rough sleeping. Together with our charity partners, we work to offer accommodation and support services that help people leave homelessness behind. We offer a wide range of housing and outreach support services to help homeless people regain their independence - from day centres and hostels, to specialist supported housing services for people with mental health problems, learning disabilities and young homeless people. We also offer counselling to help people overcome drug and alcohol addiction, befriending services and employment and skills training. You'll join a social work team that's co-located alongside healthcare staff from our local NHS Trust. In a truly collaborative environment, you'll discover scope to deliver outstanding results faster than you might expect. Especially because you'll also develop strong links with other services, and with service users' families. Working with rough sleepers who have co-morbidities, complex social care needs, enduring mental illness, and in some cases addiction challenges, you will be instrumental to developing packages of care that are tailored to the individual. With responsibilities including statutory social work assessments and the duties of an Approved Mental Health Professional, you'll enjoy a truly fulfilling opportunity to help people live happier, healthier and more secure lives, in which they're more included as part of our community. Please refer to the Job Description for more information. About You: At Westminster you'll have the freedom and autonomy to adapt your interventions to each individual you work with. So you'll need to be a proactive person, with a creative approach to working with service users and their families. Above all, you'll demonstrate a commitment to dignity and respect at the heart of every intervention you propose. Ideally, in addition to being a qualified, registered social worker, you'll be an Approved Mental Health Professional (or willing to train as one). We'd prefer you to have some experience in working with adults who have mental health problems. Naturally, you'll also bring to the role a good knowledge of relevant legislation and guidance. Comfortable working with people from a wide range of ethnic and cultural groups, you've got excellent communication and relationship building skills. What We Offer: Westminster is an amazing place. We are home to more than 200,000 residents from all backgrounds, over 50,000 vibrant and vital businesses and three-quarters-of-a-million people work in Westminster. Westminster City Council's strategy is to work towards a Fairer Westminster. A Fairer Westminster is one in which our communities are at the heart of our decision-making and help to determine the city's future. By working directly with our communities and other partners, we can build a more inclusive city that celebrates our diverse communities, and where residents, workers and visitors from all backgrounds will feel welcome and safe. At Westminster City Council, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive workplace and employer of choice. We encourage and welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and aim to have a workforce that, at all levels, represents the communities we serve. We champion equality, diversity, inclusion and wellbeing and aim to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, has a sense of belonging and is empowered to be their best, that is the Westminster Way.
