About the Role
Hackney Council is an organisation that is passionate about our people and understands that richness of diversity is a requirement to provide the best possible services to our communities. This is demonstrated through our council-wide ambitious commitment to tackle racial inequality in our communities and workforce through our Anti-Racism framework, which was formally adopted in February 2024. Hackney has a strong strengths-based and person-centred approach in which we prioritise maintaining and promoting people’s independence, and we are very proud that as a result, 85% of the people who use our services live in the community. 78.8% of our residents live independently after receiving reablement support and 89.4% of older residents live at home 91 days after a hospital discharge, outcomes which are higher than the London average. Newly Qualified Social Workers will progress with their Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) within adult social care, committed to providing high quality support, assessment and intervention with the residents, carers and families we work with. Experienced Qualified Social Workers are also encouraged to apply, as we seek compassionate and ambitious individuals who have experience working with adults, including those with physical and mental health needs, learning disabilities, and older people. We are looking for Social Workers in our Integrated Discharge Service, Access & Duty, Case Management and Safeguarding Teams.

Experience
Experience working with adults, including those with physical and mental health needs, learning disabilities, and older people is essential.
