Social Worker Job Description: Glasgow G2
Recruitment Agency London is partnering with local authorities, healthcare trusts, and charitable organisations across the Glasgow G2 region to recruit experienced and newly qualified Social Workers. This is a critical role providing essential support to vulnerable children, adults, and families within the community. We specialise in connecting talented professionals with organisations that need reliable staffing solutions fast, much like our services for Facilities Management or Support Workers.
If you are a dedicated professional seeking a rewarding Social Worker position with an immediate start, we can facilitate your placement into various settings including child protection, adult social care, mental health teams, and hospital discharge services. Our agency manages the entire process, from vetting to compliance, ensuring a smooth transition into your new role. We apply the same efficient, candidate-focused approach seen in our placements for Warehouse Operatives and Medical Secretaries.
Key Responsibilities & Duties
As a Social Worker placed through our agency in Glasgow, your core duties will be varied and impactful. You will be expected to:
- Conduct comprehensive assessments of need and risk for children, young people, adults, and families in line with statutory frameworks and local policies.
- Develop, implement, and review person-centred support plans, working in partnership with service users, their families, and multi-agency teams.
- Manage a complex caseload effectively, ensuring timely case recording, report writing, and adherence to data protection standards.
- Provide crisis intervention and safeguarding support, taking appropriate action to protect vulnerable individuals from harm.
- Advocate for service users' rights and access to services, liaising with healthcare professionals, housing officers, legal representatives, and educational staff.
- Prepare statements and present evidence for court proceedings, case conferences, and multi-disciplinary meetings.
- Mentor and support student social workers and newly qualified colleagues, contributing to a positive team culture.
- Maintain up-to-date professional knowledge of legislation, such as the Children Act, Care Act, and Mental Health Act, and best practice guidelines.
Essential Requirements & Qualifications
To be successful in securing a Social Worker role through Recruitment Agency London, you must meet the following criteria:
- A recognised Social Work qualification (BA/BSc/MA in Social Work) and current registration with Social Work England (SWE) or the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC).
- Proven post-qualifying experience within a UK local authority or relevant health/social care setting. Experience in Glasgow or the wider Strathclyde region is highly advantageous.
- In-depth knowledge of relevant legislation, policy, and procedure, and the ability to apply this knowledge in practice.
- Excellent assessment, communication, and report-writing skills, with the ability to build rapport with individuals from diverse backgrounds.
- Resilience, emotional intelligence, and the ability to manage stressful situations and make sound decisions under pressure.
- A valid, clean UK driving licence and access to a vehicle is desirable for community-based roles, though not always essential for positions within central G2.
