Role at a Glance

A hybrid Adults Social Worker role on a local authority Review Team in East Riding of Yorkshire, placed by specialist agency Liquid Personnel. You will reassess adults already receiving care and support — reviewing packages, direct payments and support plans against Care Act 2014 outcomes. Salary not disclosed. Must hold Social Work England registration and a full UK driving licence. NQSWs not eligible.

About This Role

This vacancy is for an Adults Social Worker joining the Review Team of a local authority in East Riding of Yorkshire, sourced through Liquid Personnel. Rather than conducting first-time assessments, this team works on existing cases — determining whether current funded arrangements still reflect each person's needs, whether support plans are delivering their intended outcomes, and whether changes are warranted to better balance independence against risk. The hybrid model means splitting time between home working, community visits and office-based team contact.

About Liquid Personnel

Liquid Personnel is a UK social work recruitment agency that places qualified practitioners with local authorities and independent providers across the country. For this vacancy, it is acting as an Employment Business — meaning engagement is on a contract or agency basis rather than direct employment with the council. The agency manages candidate compliance (including a free DBS check), processes earnings twice weekly for faster access to pay, and gives workers a dedicated CPD training portal alongside a named consultant with genuine social care sector knowledge — a level of specialist support that generalist recruiters rarely replicate.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Carry out Care Act 2014-compliant, strengths-based reviews and reassessments for adults already holding funded care and support packages, keeping every outcome anchored to the individual's own goals.
  • Examine existing care arrangements — including direct payment schemes and formal support plans — and put forward recommendations that advance independence, reduce risk and make sound use of available funding.
  • Build working relationships with service users, their families, commissioned providers and statutory or voluntary partners to track shifting needs and trigger timely, well-targeted service adjustments.

Essential Requirements

  • Current, active registration with Social Work England
  • Legal right to work in the United Kingdom — applicants resident in countries on the WHO Workforce Support and Safeguard Red/Amber list are not eligible
  • Valid full UK driving licence
  • Demonstrable post-qualification experience in social work practice
  • Degree in Social Work, or a recognised equivalent qualification at degree level

Skills Snapshot: What Really Matters

Every qualification listed for this role is a hard requirement — there are no stated nice-to-haves. The core competency demanded is confident practice under the Care Act 2014, specifically the review and reassessment of adults already in receipt of funded support. A driving licence is non-negotiable, pointing to regular community-based travel across a predominantly rural county. 'Post-qualified experience' is required but no minimum number of years is specified; newly qualified social workers who have not yet completed their ASYE should not apply.

Pay & Compensation

No salary or hourly rate has been disclosed for this position. Liquid Personnel's Faster Pay service processes earnings twice weekly rather than monthly, which can benefit those on contract or agency arrangements by improving cash flow. For actual rate information, contact your dedicated Liquid Personnel consultant directly — the original posting contains no figure, and JobForMe does not estimate or add one. Two separate financial incentives are also on offer through Liquid Personnel: a £500 Refer a Friend bonus for each social worker you introduce who is successfully placed, and a £250 Find Your Own Job bonus if you self-source a vacancy to bring to the agency. Terms and conditions apply to both schemes.

What Is on Offer

  • Hybrid working arrangement
  • Ongoing professional supervision and access to training
  • Free DBS check and full compliance administration handled by Liquid Personnel
  • Twice-weekly payroll with Faster Pay option for quicker access to earnings
  • Free access to Liquid Personnel's exclusive CPD training portal
  • A named consultant with specialist social work sector knowledge
  • Priority access to exclusive vacancies held only by Liquid Personnel and not listed elsewhere
  • Access to a broad UK-wide portfolio of social work roles
  • £500 Refer a Friend bonus per social worker successfully placed through Liquid Personnel (terms apply)
  • £250 Find Your Own Job bonus for self-sourced vacancy introductions (terms apply)

Location & How You Will Work

The post is based in East Riding of Yorkshire and operates on a hybrid model. A full UK driving licence is mandatory, indicating regular travel to service users' homes, provider premises or partner agencies across the county. The posting makes no mention of relocation assistance or visa sponsorship. Candidates must already hold the legal right to work in the UK; applications from people currently residing in countries on the WHO Workforce Support and Safeguard List cannot be accepted under the Code of Practice for international health and social care recruitment in England.

Frequently asked questions

Is a salary or hourly rate disclosed for this role?

No. The posting does not include any pay figure. Contact your Liquid Personnel consultant directly for current rate information before applying.

Do I need a driving licence to carry out this job?

Yes — a full UK driving licence is listed as a non-negotiable requirement. This reflects the need to travel across East Riding of Yorkshire to visit service users, care providers and partner agencies.

Can newly qualified social workers (NQSWs) apply?

No. Post-qualification experience is stated as a mandatory requirement. Social workers who have not yet completed their ASYE or equivalent post-qualifying period are not eligible for this role.

Can international candidates apply?

How does a Review Team role differ from a standard Adults Social Work post?

A Review Team works with people already receiving funded care and support, rather than conducting initial assessments. The focus here is on reassessing whether existing packages, direct payments and support plans continue to meet a person's needs — and recommending changes where they do not. It is a specialist, throughput-focused function within Adults Social Care.
