Social Worker – City Wide Care Homes Team
Employer: Manchester City Council
Salary: £30ph

About the Role

Manchester City Council is committed to providing high-quality, person-centred support to some of the city’s most vulnerable adults. Our City Wide Care Homes Team plays a vital role in supporting adults living in residential and nursing care settings across Manchester.

As a Social Worker in this team, you’ll work with care home residents, families, and providers to ensure individuals receive the right care and support, promoting independence, dignity, and quality of life wherever possible. This is a unique opportunity to use your professional skills to make a direct impact on the lives of adults in care settings, while contributing to Manchester’s vision of creating a healthier, fairer city for all.

What We’re Looking For

Qualified Social Worker with current registration with Social Work England.
Strong knowledge of adult social care legislation and safeguarding.
Experience of working with adults in care settings (residential or nursing) is desirable.
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills to work effectively with residents, families, and professionals.
A commitment to person-centred, strengths-based practice.

What We Offer

A supportive, inclusive, and forward-thinking workplace.

Looking for a Social Work role where every week is different, challenging, and rewarding?

Join Wigan’s Duty Service and put your skills to work where they really matter — right at the very first stage of assessment and intervention for children and families.

This is not just another caseload job. As part of one of our five fast-paced Duty Teams (with a manageable 1-in-5 duty rota), you’ll have the chance to make real, lasting impact — supported every step of the way by a Team Manager, Advanced Practitioner, and Senior Social Worker.

If you thrive in a dynamic environment, can think on your feet, and want to empower families to create sustainable, positive change, this could be the perfect next step in your career.

Why This Role Stands Out

✔ A varied and fast-paced environment where no two weeks are the same.
✔ Clear case transfer points — you focus on expert assessment and intervention, not long-term case-holding.
✔ A supportive team structure designed to help you succeed.
✔ The opportunity to use your creativity, resilience, and analytical skills to overcome complex challenges and make a real difference.

What You’ll Need

Registration with Social Work England.
Confidence to analyse, assess risk, and plan effectively in complex situations.
Strong interpersonal skills to build trust with children, families, and partners.
A motivated, flexible, and solution-focused approach.

Why Work with We Do Social Work?

When you join us, you don’t just get a job — you get the support of a recruitment agency that truly understands social work:
⚡ ‘Faster Pay’ service – get paid more quickly.
💳 Twice-weekly payroll.
✅ Free DBS and compliance service.
🤝 A dedicated consultant who knows social work inside-out.
🌍 Access to roles across the UK.
🎁 Refer a Friend bonus – £250 for each successful referral*.
🎁 Find Your Own Job bonus – £250 if you bring your own role to us*.
We Do Social Work is an equal opportunities employer and is acting as an Employment Business in relation to this vacancy. Terms and conditions apply to our bonus schemes.
💡 Make your next move count. Apply today and be part of a Duty Service where your skills will truly change lives.
