We're looking for compassionate, motivated practitioners who share our commitment to person-centred, strengths-based practice and delivering outstanding outcomes for adults across South Lincolnshire.

If you're someone who is curious, reflective, solution-focused and committed to making a genuine difference, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Role

As a Qualified Practitioner within the Learning Disability South Team, you will play a key role in supporting adults with learning disabilities to live fulfilling, independent, and meaningful lives. You will be responsible for completing Care Act assessments, developing and reviewing support plans, and ensuring that individuals receive the right level of support at the right time.

You will hold a current Nursing or Social Work registration.

You will hold a varied caseload, including more complex cases, and will work with individuals on a longterm basis, enabling you to build strong, trusting relationships.

As part of an experienced and enabling team, you will also have opportunities to supervise less experienced colleagues and contribute to learning and development of the team.

Working within Lincolnshire's strengths-based Conversation Model, you will:

• Complete Adult Needs Assessments and reviews under the Care Act 2014
• Develop strengths-based support plans that focus on individual outcomes
• Work alongside individuals, carers, families and partner agencies
• Promote independence, wellbeing and community connections
• Respond to safeguarding concerns and contribute to safeguarding enquiries
• Support people through periods of change, crisis and transition
• Manage a varied and rewarding caseload across your locality

This often involves undertaking comprehensive assessments, developing person-centred support plans, and working collaboratively with families, carers, health professionals, and other partner agencies. The team covers Sleaford, Spalding, Grantham, Stamford and Bourne.

Our Team

We are a friendly, approachable, and supportive team committed to achieving the best outcomes for adults with learning disabilities across Lincolnshire. Our team culture is collaborative, reflective, and strengthsbased, with team champions available to offer guidance and support in specialist areas.

What Were Looking For

We welcome applications from both newly qualified and experienced Learning Disability Nurses and Social Workers. Experience of working with adults with learning disabilities is desirable but not essential, as full training and support will be provided.

As this is a communitybased role, the ability to travel to complete visits is required.

Our Offer

We recognise that working in adult social care can be both challenging and deeply rewarding. You will be supported by a compassionate and knowledgeable team, with regular opportunities for reflection, development, and professional growth.

You'll benefit from:

• Regular professional supervision and wellbeing conversations
• A supportive team culture with experienced and approachable colleagues
• Ongoing learning and development opportunities
• Protected time for reflective practice and professional growth
• Flexible and agile working arrangements
• Career progression opportunities within Adult Care
• Access to wider Lincolnshire County Council employee benefits
• The opportunity to make a lasting difference to people's lives every day

If you're looking for a rewarding career where you can make a real impact while being supported to grow and develop professionally, we'd love to welcome you to our South Learning Disability Team.

Join us and help shape better outcomes for adults, families and communities across South Lincolnshire.
