Why come to Hackney?
<h4>Hackney Council is an organisation that is passionate about our people and understands that richness of diversity is a requirement to provide the best possible services to our communities. This is demonstrated through our council-wide ambitious commitment to tackle racial inequality in our communities and workforce through our&nbsp;Anti-Racism framework, which was formally adopted in February 2024. See&nbsp;p<a href="https://hackney.gov.uk/plans-strategies/#antiracism" target="_blank">lans, policies and strategies – Anti-racism framework</a>.</h4>
Hackney has a strong strengths-based and person-centred approach in
which we prioritise maintaining and promoting people’s independence, and we are very proud that as a result, 85% of the people who use our services live in the community. 78.8% of our residents live independently after receiving reablement support and 89.4% of older residents live at home 91 days after a hospital&nbsp;discharge, outcomes which are higher than the London average.
We’re serious about collaboration and co-production and we work in better and more innovative ways because of this. For example, we’ve built strong connections with our Hackney Council colleagues in Housing and in Benefits and Homeless Prevention (for example in the Health, Housing, and Homelessness Panel and in&nbsp;multidisciplinary team approaches that are ensuring adults facing multiple vulnerabilities receive holistic support).
We believe accessible learning opportunities are crucial to our performance and our staff’s wellbeing and have a dedicated Practice Innovation and Workforce Capability team who work closely with the Principal Social Worker to develop our Continuous Professional Development offer.

Case management is split into two teams who cover 8 neighbourhood areas, which is part of the way we are organised in Hackney as we together meet the health and social care needs of individuals with our partners. The team completes initial assessments for people first coming into adult social care, as well as reviews and re-assessments for those with more complex needs. With a strong focus on practice and legal literacy, the team seeks to enable people to be as independent as possible with the breadth of assets and community opportunities available in Hackney.

The Integrated Discharge Service assesses Hackney residents, whilst in hospital across all London Hospitals and beyond, for the most appropriate and safe discharge destination and care and support plan. We focus on safe discharges that respect the legal rights and expressed wishes of all individuals. The team works in partnership with the multi-disciplinary teams within hospitals and attends multi-disciplinary meetings on their aligned wards. The service is inclusive to those in acute settings who are assessed as having a learning disability, mental health diagnosis, or dementia. It also supports residents with no recourse to public funds who have eligible care and support needs. The service operates seven days a week, and staff are invited to contribute to weekend working if they so wish. Community Reviews are completed collaboratively with the resident, family members, carers, and other involved professionals, to ensure that their long-term care and support needs are assessed and that any newly arising concerns or needs are addressed.
We are a team of Social workers, Senior Social workers, Senior OT and occupational therapists and Review Officers.
Access &amp; Duty
The Access and Duty Team serves as the initial point of contact for adults in Hackney who require intervention, advice and signposting from Adult Social Care. Our primary responsibilities include screening all incoming referrals and correspondence. We also respond to critical needs, risks, and emergencies for open cases, including unplanned reviews. The social workers and review officers undertake Care Act assessments for new referrals that have been screened and identified as requiring a Care Act assessment. The assessments are undertaken in the community with the resident and their respective carers.
We are a team of Senior Social workers, Social workers, Review officers and Information officers.

A new Practice Framework for ASC has been created, supporting staff to deliver strengths based, anti-racist and trauma informed services to all our residents.
