Senior Social Work Practitioner (Homeless)

Focus is an independent Social Enterprise (Community Interest Company) providing Adult Social Work across North East Lincolnshire.  We believe that being an independent social work practice provides us with unique opportunities to be more flexible and creative in our approach.  This benefits our service users, their families and carers and our staff.

We have a secondment opportunity available for a Senior Social Worker to work closely with the Homelessness Prevention Service Team.  The role will require you to work across organisations in. You will also visit Harbour Place and may need to alter some of your working hours to visit homeless people in the community. This is an exciting new venture which will place a social worker at the heart of the homeless team. You will be expected to advise and support all professionals. You will work with homeless people and their families and try to stop homelessness occurring. You will engage with the hospital to help them identify homeless people themselves and advise your colleagues in Focus of your actions and methods of working. This will be a temporary post for 2 years for which supervisory and mentoring support will be provided (at Focus). 

We are looking for people with enthusiasm and passion for social work.  In return we can offer you the opportunity to genuinely make a difference to some of the most vulnerable people in our community. 

Focus offers all staff a robust on-boarding process, and a variety of continuing professional development opportunities.  You will receive individual supervision, mentorship from colleagues and full support from the wider team.
