Join our diverse and friendly Continuing Healthcare Team and work collaboratively with Health colleagues to support assessments for both NHS Continuing Healthcare (NHS CHC) and under the Care Act 2014, including assessments for those leaving hospital and in the community.

No two cases are the same and you’ll enjoy a diverse and manageable caseload, working across all client groups from younger adults, physical disabilities, mental health and older adults. Working within this complex and challenging area of health and social care law, you’ll have the opportunity to really stretch your social work skills and to make the most of personal development opportunities.

As a qualified Social Worker or Registered Nurse with UK based Social Work experience, you’ll ideally also have experience of working in NHS CHC. If you don’t have this background, you’ll need to have a strong desire and commitment to learn and develop your skills and knowledge in the NHS CHC arena. Inquisitive and with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, you’ll enjoy collaborating with colleagues to achieve successful outcomes within this dynamic multi-disciplinary environment.

Whether you are an experienced Social Worker or Nurse, looking to stretch yourself and take on a new challenge, or recently qualified looking to kickstart your career within NHS CHC, we can offer you a unique experience working alongside colleagues with a diverse range of skills, within a supportive space. Our newly qualified Social Workers are paid at £32,026 per annum, pro rata for the first year of employment.

In return for your commitment we offer supported continued development opportunities, alongside a competitive benefits package. You’ll also have access to excellent staff networks and mentoring programmes. We recognise the benefits hybrid working can bring, so you’ll be able to work remotely (with equipment provided), with occasional office-based working at any of our office locations. We are happy to consider flexible working hours, but will need to balance work patterns with the business needs.
