Social Work Assistant – Bereavement Service

About the Role

There has never been a more exciting time to join North London Hospice. We are currently developing Social Work services across our three sites, addressing the health and social care needs of our palliative care patients, families and carers inline with the Care Act and CQC Standards.

You will be part of a committed multi-disciplinary team of palliative-care specialists, social workers, nurses, and doctors who work both on our In-patient Unit and in the community. You will have access to direction, support and supervision from qualified practitioners.

You will have frequent, direct contact with the public on the phone as well as visiting them in their own home or care setting. Your role will involve a variety of tasks including assessing people’s needs and carrying out regular reviews.

You will work in partnership with individuals, their families and carers, professional staff in other agencies and service providers to support vulnerable adults and their families to identify and arrange services that meet their needs and promote independence, choice and control.
