Social Worker at Turning Tides

As the registered Social Worker at Turning Tides, you will provide tailored, person-centred interventions that respond to the diverse needs of people experiencing homelessness, substance use, mental health challenges and other intersecting needs. You will recognise the complex relationship between these experiences and work holistically to support recovery, reduce harm, strengthen resilience and improve long-term outcomes.

You will promote a strengths-based, trauma-informed and rights-based approach, ensuring people are
supported to have choice, control and meaningful involvement in decisions that affect their lives. This is
a unique opportunity to apply your professional expertise within the voluntary sector, with the autonomy
to practise authentic, relationship-based social work that upholds dignity, choice and empowerment.

You will play a pivotal role in embedding social work values and practice across the organisation. This
will include close collaboration with statutory services to ensure individuals' rights and needs are met
under the Care Act 2014, while advocating strongly on behalf of clients to help them navigate complex
systems and overcome systemic barriers.

The role will also involve working with clients who are parents and involved in children’s services. You
will support and advocate for these individuals to help secure the best possible outcomes for all parties,
while leading on the identification, escalation and coordination of safeguarding concerns where risks to
children are present, working closely with statutory agencies and other key parties, while working closely
with Turning-Tides safeguarding lead.
