Whether you are at an early stage in your career or a more experienced practitioner looking for a change, we have the right job for you!&nbsp;Recently, Lewisham Adult Social Care completed a service restructure to better support our residents and our staff. We have strengthened our Leadership Teams, refreshed and consolidated our career pathways and enabled better interactions between services. We repositioned our Advanced Practitioners, so they are located where they are most required – in Social Work and Occupational Therapy Teams across Adult Social Care and Mental Health. These practitioners support leadership teams through complex case work, share their expertise with colleagues, lead on practice development across the organization and complete quality assurance tasks, including case file audits.&nbsp;The Adult Social Care workforce in Lewisham is relatively stable, but there remains a need to respond to social change, welcome innovation, and address the demand for constant service improvement.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A recent innovation has been to reposition our Advanced Practitioners, so they are located where they are most required – in Social Work and Occupational Therapy Teams across Adult Social Care and Mental Health.

There are also opportunities to join various bite size learning forums, and to be part of a learning organization, as we have a well-established culture of supporting adult learners and social work students on practice placements.&nbsp;Council-employed staff are also supported through social work and OT apprenticeship degrees, and newly qualified social workers through the ASYE.
