We’re looking for an experienced Qualified Social Worker to join a dynamic and supportive Hospital Discharge Team in Merseyside. If you're confident in a hospital setting and passionate about delivering timely, person-centred support — this role is for you.
🏥 The Role:
As part of this fast-paced hospital team, you’ll be working with adults and their families at key moments in their care journey — supporting safe, efficient hospital discharges and reducing delayed transfers of care. You’ll assess needs, coordinate services, and help individuals regain independence — all while navigating complex systems and collaborating with health and social care partners.
✨ Key Responsibilities:
- Complete timely assessments of adults in hospital and identify safe discharge pathways
- Work with families, hospital teams, and community providers to coordinate care plans
- Uphold best practice and legal frameworks (Care Act 2014, Mental Capacity Act, etc.)
- Use your professional judgement to manage risk, safeguarding, and capacity concerns
- Maintain clear, accurate, and strengths-based case recordings
- Promote independence, dignity, and person-centred planning
✅ About You:
- Qualified Social Worker, registered with Social Work England
- Minimum 2 years’ experience, ideally within hospital discharge or adult services
- Confident in managing hospital discharges, capacity assessments, and safeguarding
- Skilled at working in multi-disciplinary teams
- Calm under pressure, clear in communication, and solution-focused
🌟 Why Pertemps?
We offer full support and make the process easy:
- A dedicated consultant who knows your sector and gets to know you
- Streamlined registration process (all online)
- Referral bonuses and incentives
- Ongoing compliance and support
- Prompt and reliable weekly payroll
📍 Ideal for professionals based in or near: Liverpool, Wirral, Sefton, St Helens, Wigan, Warrington, Widnes, Birkenhead, Wallasey, Skelmersdale, Bootle, Runcorn, Huyton, Southport, and surrounding areas.
