Qualified Practitioner - Transitional Safeguarding (PACT Team, Adult Social Care)
Employer: Wokingham Borough Council
Salary: £44,253 - £50,909 Per Annum, Plus Benefits
Location: Wokingham
Contract: Permanent
Working Pattern: Full Time
Hours: 37 hours per week.
DBS Check: Enhanced
Closing Date: 25/10/2026 at 23:00
Reference: 713537
We have an excellent opportunity available for a Qualified Practitioner to join our Adult Social Care Team on a Full Time, Permanent Basis.
This role focuses on transitional safeguarding and is part of our new People Achieving Change Together (PACT) team.
The PACT Team will work alongside adults who may not feel able to engage with traditional services. This includes young people transitioning into adulthood, people experiencing complex or high-risk circumstances, those at risk of exploitation, and individuals whose hoarding is creating serious safety concerns. The team will hold a small caseload, allowing time to build meaningful, trusting relationships and to respond quickly and flexibly when someone is at risk or in crisis. We will work with adults who have Care Act eligible needs, or who may reach that point without early, compassionate, and relational support.
As a Qualified Practitioner, you'll work alongside young adults facing complex challenges, including exploitation, homelessness and other safeguarding risks. You'll take the time to get to know each person, build trust and understand what matters to them. Some young adults may have found it difficult to engage with services before, so you'll need patience, persistence and a willingness to try different ways of connecting. Using a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach, you'll help people reduce risks, build resilience and make positive changes towards a safer and more stable future.
We're a small, supportive council with big ambitions. We trust our teams, work closely together and give people space to make ideas happen. Our adult social care services were rated among the highest in the country by the CQC in 2025, with two "Outstanding" areas and a strong national score of 81%. We were also ranked the 2nd most productive council in England by the Impower Productivity Index, recognising our strong performance and efficient use of public money.
Wokingham Borough Council is proud to be part of the Social Care Future movement, supporting a vision where everyone can live in a place they call home, connected to the people and activities that matter most.
If you're patient, persistent and passionate about helping young adults feel safer and build a more positive future, we'd love to hear from you!

Work with other services and professionals to provide joined-up support that helps people stay safe and build greater independence.
Candidate requirements:
Your professional background could be in Social Work, Nursing or Occupational Therapy, or another relevant statutory or partner service where you have significant experience supporting young adults with safeguarding needs.
