Job Description:
Our client, Brent Council, is seeking an interim Advanced Practitioner to be based within the Residential and Nursing Commissioning Team, specifically focused on the Step-Down Service.
This post will last until March 2027.
Paid at £36 per hour (umbrella).
The role will involve the following:
*Advanced Practitioner required to support system throughput and flow, based within the Residential and Nursing Commissioning Team, specifically focused on the Step-Down Service.
*The Step-Down provision consists of 16 commissioned beds that facilitate timely hospital discharge, support recovery and assessment, and enable safe transitions back into the community.
*These beds are a critical component in reducing discharge delays, alleviating acute hospital pressures, and preventing avoidable long-term care admissions.
*This role will provide dedicated pathway oversight, coordination, and intervention for individuals within the step-down beds.
*Delivering proactive case management, timely statutory interventions, and early identification of risks that may lead to long-term residential or nursing placements.
*A caseload of 16 aligns directly with the number of commissioned beds, ensuring full pathway coverage.
*The Advanced Practitioner level is required due to the complexity of cases (including safeguarding, Mental Capacity Act work, housing instability, and NRPF), enabling autonomous decision-making and reducing escalation delays.
*The role will sit within the Residential and Nursing Commissioning Team to ensure alignment with bed management and discharge coordination.
* This avoids dilution of focus that would occur within traditional operational teams.
Please let me know if you are interested? Or can you refer a friend for £300 if placed?
Requirements of the role:
*Qualified Social Worker
*Fully Social Work England registered
*Must have significant post-qualified experience in adult social care
*Must have demonstrable experience of complex social work including safeguarding, MCA work, housing instability etc.
*Must have knowledge and experience of Step-Down provisions, hospital discharge etc.
Please contact me asap to discuss in more detail. We are offering £250 joining bonus for new starters with Reed.
Alternatively, we are offering £300 if you refer a friend or colleague and they are placed successfully into this or any other QSW role.
