• Qualifications: A recognized Social Work qualification and active Social Work England (SWE) registration.

• Experience: Substantial post-qualifying experience in Adult Social Care, particularly within front-door, triage, or early intervention settings.

• Mobility: A full UK driving license and access to a vehicle for community assessments around Manchester.

• Premium Rate: A highly competitive pay rate of £32.00/hr to reflect your senior expertise.

• Career Development: An excellent opportunity to build leadership and supervisory experience in a highly supportive environment.

• Flexibility: Modern hybrid working options balancing office, community, and home working to ensure a great work-life balance.
