The Role:
As part of this fast-paced hospital team, youโ€™ll be working with adults and their families at key moments in their care journey โ€” supporting safe, efficient hospital discharges and reducing delayed transfers of care.

  • Use your professional judgement to manage risk, safeguarding, and capacity concerns
  • Maintain clear, accurate, and strengths-based case recordings
  • Promote independence, dignity, and person-centred planning
ย 
โœ… About You:
  • Qualified Social Worker, registered with Social Work England
  • Minimum 2 yearsโ€™ experience, ideally within hospital discharge or adult services
  • Confident in managing hospital discharges, capacity assessments, and safeguarding
  • Skilled at working in multi-disciplinary teams
  • Calm under pressure, clear in communication, and solution-focused
ย 
๐ŸŒŸ Why Pertemps?
We offer full support and make the process easy:
  • A dedicated consultant who knows your sector and gets to know you
  • Streamlined registration process (all online)
  • Referral bonuses and incentives
  • Ongoing compliance and support
  • Prompt and reliable weekly payroll
ย 
๐Ÿ“ Ideal for professionals based in or near:ย  Liverpool, Wirral, Sefton, St Helens, Wigan, Warrington, Widnes, Birkenhead, Wallasey, Skelmersdale, Bootle, Runcorn, Huyton, Southport, and surrounding areas.
Not quite right for you? We recruit across all areas of Qualified Social Work โ€” including Adults, Mental Health, Hospital Discharge, Learning Disabilities, Safeguarding, and more. We also hire for Team Manager, IRO, BIA, and AMHP positions.
