Jobs

Are you ready to shape the future of Adult Social Care in Royal Greenwich?

We’re building something bold and brilliant — a brand-new Practice and Workforce Development Team with a clear mission: to elevate practice, empower professionals, and deliver outstanding outcomes for our residents. At the heart of this transformation is a new leadership vision, and we’re looking for a Practice Development Lead to help bring it to life.

💡 About the Role

This is not just another job — it’s a chance to lead, influence, and innovate. As our Practice Development Lead, you’ll be a key driver of quality, learning, and professional development across adult social care. You’ll:

• Champion strengths-based, person-centred practice through robust quality assurance and case file audits.
• Lead on continuous professional development for social workers, OTs, and social care staff — from ASYE to apprenticeships and beyond.
• Design and deliver engaging workshops, reflective forums, and learning resources that inspire and inform.
• Collaborate across Health and Adult Services including frontline teams, provider services, and partner agencies to embed best practice and drive improvement.
• Embrace digital innovation and new technologies to enhance practice and learning.
• Support the development of our Social Care Practice Academy and career pathways.

🧠 What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking a qualified social worker with:

• Extensive experience in adult social care and post-qualifying accredited training.
• Practice Educator training and a passion for supporting learners.
• A confident, creative approach to quality assurance, mentoring, and training delivery.
• The ability to work across boundaries — with operational teams, partners, providers, and residents.
• A commitment to co-production, inclusion, and continuous improvement.

🌱 Why Join Us?

• Be part of a new team with fresh energy and ambition.
• Work under a new manager who values innovation, collaboration, and professional growth.
• Help shape a forward-thinking culture that puts learning and quality at the centre.
• Make a real difference to the lives of residents and the future of adult social care in Greenwich.
