This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing service at an exciting time, working across our established Dennis Community Centre.

Youll have the opportunity to make a genuine difference every day helping older people remain connected, active and valued, while providin

36.25 hours per week | Monday to Friday | Hybrid | North East London, Central London, Essex.

Are you a qualified Social Worker looking for a varied and rewarding role where you can make a real difference to adults, families and carers within the community?

Jewish Care is looking for an experienced Social Worker to join our Social Work and Community Support (SWCS) service. You will provide professional social work support to adults across North East and Central London, Essex and Southend, supporting people to maintain their independence, improve their wellbeing and remain safely within their communities.

You will manage a complex caseload of approximately 35 cases (FTE), carrying out holistic assessments, developing person-centred support plans and delivering effective social work interventions. You will work with people experiencing a range of challenges, including ageing, disability, mental health needs, dementia, social isolation, end-of-life care and other complex or co-existing needs.

You will use your professional judgement to assess risk, respond to referrals, identify safeguarding concerns and ensure people receive the right support at the right time. The role also involves providing advice, information and advocacy, helping individuals and carers navigate health and social care systems and access appropriate services.

Partnership working will be an important part of the role. You will work closely with colleagues across Jewish Care and build effective relationships with statutory, voluntary and community organisations. You will also represent Jewish Care at external meetings and forums and contribute to the development of community-based initiatives, support groups and other activities that promote social inclusion and wellbeing.

You will be a qualified and Social Work England registered Social Worker with experience of working with adults in a social care setting. You will have sound knowledge of the Care Act 2014, Mental Capacity Act 2005 and safeguarding, together with experience of assessment, care planning, risk management and social work interventions.

We are looking for someone who is confident working independently, while also contributing effectively to a multidisciplinary team. You will have excellent communication, listening, writing, organisation and IT skills, alongside the ability to exercise professional judgement and critically reflect on your practice.

Experience of community or group work is essential. Experience of working with people affected by mental health, dementia, disability, isolation, end-of-life care or other complex needs is particularly relevant. Experience within the voluntary sector or mental health services would be desirable.

Knowledge of the Jewish community would be advantageous, although a willingness to learn about Jewish life and develop your understanding of the community is essential.

Although hybrid working is available, due to the geographical coverage of this role, you must hold a full UK driving licence and have regular access to your own vehicle for work purposes. The role involves travel across North East London, Central London, Essex and Southend, including visits within the community and attendance at meetings and services across different locations.

At Jewish Care, we are committed to providing person-centred support that enables people to live with dignity, independence and choice. You will join a professional and supportive team where your expertise can make a meaningful difference to individuals, families and carers across our communities.

If you are an experienced Social Worker who enjoys community-based practice, creative, partnership working and making a positive difference to people's lives, we would love to hear from you.

The role combines research, evaluation, analysis and organisational learning. You will work with both qualitative and quantitative information, produce clear and accessible reports, and support with facilitating learning sessions and workshops with colleagues.

You will also help build confidence and capability of colleagues across Jewish Care, so that they do not simply collect and report data, but also use it to learn, adapt and continuously improve Jewish Cares services.

This post is working an average of 36.25 hours per week Monday to Friday

You will:

• Support the design and delivery of evaluations, research and learning activities, using approaches such as surveys, interviews, focus groups and case studies.

We are looking for someone who is curious, analytical and reflective, with a genuine interest in understanding what works and why.

You will have experience of research and/or evaluation, including data collection, analysis and interpretation, together with strong qualitative research skills. This is predominantly a qualitative not quantitative role, however you will need to have experience of building data sets, conducting descriptive analysis in packages like Excel, data visualisation and be able to speak confidently about data.

You will also be confident facilitating discussions, collaborating, building relationships and supporting change with colleagues across different professional backgrounds.

You will ideally have a relevant degree or equivalent experience in research, evaluation, social research, public policy, social sciences, health, social care or a related discipline.

Make a difference behind the scenes

At Jewish Care, what happens behind the scenes matters. As a Property Services Porter, you'll help keep our busy Sugar & Ronson Campus running smoothly, safely and efficiently.

From setting up rooms for events and activities to moving supplies, managing deliveries and supporting teams across the campus, you'll be the person colleagues can rely on to get things done.

It's a varied, hands-on role where no two days are quite the same and where your work directly supports our residents, members, visitors and colleagues.

This post is working 36.25 hours per week Monday to Friday with occasional Sundays when required, where time in lieu will be given.

• Providing general porterage and logistical support to teams across the campus.
• Keeping storage, delivery and operational areas organised and accessible.
• Reporting hazards, incidents, damaged goods and delivery issues promptly.
• Following Jewish Care's health and safety and manual handling procedures.

This is a porterage and operational support role not a maintenance role. You won't be expected to carry out electrical, plumbing, decorating, carpentry, grounds maintenance or other specialist repairs.

We're looking for someone who is reliable, practical and ready to get stuck in.

You'll bring:

• Experience in a porterage, operational, facilities or support role is desirable.

• Basic IT skills.
• The confidence to work independently and use your initiative.
• Flexibility to respond to changing priorities and operational needs.

Most importantly, you'll be dependable, courteous and solutions-focused, taking pride in doing a job well and helping the wider team deliver an excellent service.

You'll be joining a team where the work you do genuinely matters.

Your contribution will help create a safe, welcoming and well-organised environment for the people who live in, visit and use our services.

You'll also be part of an organisation guided by our values of Excellence, Innovation, Compassion, Inclusiveness and Integrity.
