We are recruiting 2 Community Case Workers, 1 post in the All Age Disability Service (37 hours) and 1 part-time post (19 hours) in the Continuing Health Care Team.

Community Case Workers work with individuals with care and support needs, they assess their needs under the Care Act 2014 and consider support options to enable people to live as independently as possible. There is a clear focus on promoting independence and supporting people to reach their full potential.

We want enthusiastic people like you to bring your experience, passion and commitment. If you like to work as part of a team but can also work autonomously, we would really like to hear from you.

You will:

Undertake assessment work with adults using prescribed documentation, identifying needs of service users and carers, except in circumstances that require the intervention of professionally qualified staff.

Devise and implement strengths-based and outcome focused care options using the prescribed documentation, and coordinate cost effective provision based upon such options.

Devise plans that seek to promote the independence, choice and control of service users to enable them to continue to live at home and where this is not appropriate, to arrange alternative forms of provision to meet their needs.

You'll need:

Experience of assessment and case management work with older people, people with physical disability, people with learning disability or other adult service users. Ideally have experience of record keeping procedures. Experience of team membership and participation.

Experience of working with a range of service user groups either in a personal or professional capacity. Have very good organisational skills.
