SW Locums need the services of a Qualified Social Worker to work in the Adults – ASC Response Team within Adult Social Care in the LB of Islington, located near Kings Cross Station. We are seeking a highly motivated, well organised and skilled social work practitioner to be part of this fast paced service. You will be welcomed into a supportive, friendly and high achieving service based at Calshot Street. Current experience of working with the LAS database will be a definite advantage.
