Closing date:09 February 2025 Are you passionate about making a positive and lasting difference for the young adults of Hull? The Adult Social Care vision in Hull is of‘a life not a service’.  Adult Social Care is person centred and focuses on individuals’ strengths to support them to take control of improving their own health, resilience and wellbeing. We want to maximise people’s independence so individuals can achieve their goals and aspirations and live life to the fullest. We work creatively with individuals, local communities and our partners, empowering them to deliver the best possible outcomes for people and to create a positive Adult Social Care culture. Our work is solution focused, ensuring that those who most need support receive it and that we can continue supporting people in the future We currently have a vacancy for a grade 9 Specialist Transition Social worker experienced to support individuals with a Learning Disability, Autism and associated mental health diagnosis for young people transitioning from children’s services into adult social care services. You will join an established and experienced team to support the delivery of ASC services to provide consistent and intensive case management during initial stages of a service being set up, and where the professional view is that support can be reduced over a period of time e.g. over the first years of care. It provides a level of assurance for the management team (DMT) in terms of having oversight across packages of support which may involve a deprivation of liberty and where there is a requirement to regularly review any restrictions which may be in place to keep the person safe.

You will ensure through ongoing case management that these services continue to meet needs and are best value, proportionate and least restrictive for their assessed need.
