Your new company

Birmingham City Council are looking to recruit a Senior Practitioner (SP) to work within a strong Early Intervention Community Team.

As a Senior Practitioner, you will have knowledge of managing a complex caseload, good knowledge of safeguarding MCA and Best Interests decision-making. Must have experience of managing staff or transferable skills in supervising staff, and all round knowledge and familiarity with the Care Act 2014.
Your focus will be to support and coach the Social Care workers within your cluster / team to be the best in class, with a clear focus on culture change, to improve performance, quality of practice and to deliver improved outcomes within a high support and high-challenge environment, enabling the workforce to own and drive their own performance.
Your main responsibility will be to supervise and oversee the management of your cluster, and the overall team delivery to have a One Team approach.
You will support your cluster through regular supervision, ensuring the multiple complexities within the caseload are managed in a timely manner, efficiently and effectively.
In addition, you will undertake casefile audits, promoting a culture of shared learning and improvements with a strong one-team ethos that focusses on team performance, community development and partnership working.
Furthermore, as part of the Multi-Disciplinary Team, you will be required to undertake day-to-day operational responsibilities working alongside health professionals, including therapy nurses and carers.
