NHS and West Sussex County CouncilSpecialist Senior Social Worker (Neuro Services)
Jan. 2018 - Feb. 2019Serving as Complex Assessment Manager I handled strategic planning and delivery for service development. ══ INSPIRATION ══ Involved in case pathway management, fiscal management, and clinical lead in the multi-agency team, I actively participated and led complex psychosocial assessments involving individualized treatment and specialized application of casework methods and skills. It’s an honor to facilitate the development and management of the department budget. Holding multifaceted roles (like Clinical Lead) for social work within a multi-agency team I’m an expert case consultation advisor. I fostered comprehensive casework services of a tangible nature and performed well by directing challenging caseloads comprising multi-agency involvement to determine level of need and access to treatment. Embracing creativity and dedication, I promoted collaboration to spearhead litigation casework and provided guidance for best-case outcomes, ensuring these successful outcomes by partnering with service directors. This helped me gain expertise in navigating the myriad of service red-tape, incomplete patient pathways, complex funding streams, and budget restriction. I have the purpose and ability to build strong working relationships. ══ SPECIALTIES ══ Social Work | Practice Educator | Medical Social Worker |Supervising Social Worker | Best Interests Assessor | Senior Social Worker | Social Worker Educator and Assessor | Practice Educator | Leadership | Staff Management | Strategic Planning | Negotiation | Psychosocial Assessment and Intervention | Complex Case and Risk Management | Best Interests Assessor (BIA) | Discharge Planning (Acute Services) | Service Development | Project Management | Healthcare | Service Development | Supervisory Skills | Social Services | Local Government | Case Management | Public Sector | Budget Monitoring | Litigation | Community Engagement | Leadership Development | Staff Development | Coaching
