About this role

Bring your social work expertise to a role where your decisions make a direct difference to residents and their families.

As a Senior Social Worker in the Hospital Team, you will support safe and timely discharge, help people regain independence wherever possible and work with health and social care partners to achieve the best outcomes for each person.

At Bracknell Forest, we pride ourselves on being a council which is stable and well-managed where our employees can thrive in a supportive environment. We understand the importance of a healthy work-life balance and offer a variety of flexible working practices, including options for remote working and arrangements that allow you to work from home, dependent on the needs of the service.

This is a full-time, fixed-term maternity cover contract. Any successful internal candidate will be offered the position as a secondment and, in line with Section 8.1 of the Secondment Policy, must consult with their manager before applying.
