Interim Independent Living Advisor (Direct Payments)
Salary: £26,500
Hours: 37.5 hours a week
Place of work: AoD Centre for Independent Living, Mo Mowlam House, London SW6
Contract period: Temporary (Feb 2025)
The Organisation
Action on Disability (AoD), founded in 1979, is one of London’s leading Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisations. As we believe in the social model of Disability, our values and principles embrace inclusive and accessible ways of working both internally and in all our activities, seek the participation and contribution of our members, and encourage and respect diversity.
The organisation is a medium sized charity with a Board of Trustees (at least 75% is Disabled trustees), 20 staff and a strong ad hoc staff and volunteer base including many with direct experience of Disability - all of whom are passionate about removing the barriers that Disabled people face.
AoD provides five key services. These are: Youth, Employment, Welfare Benefits, Independent Living and Advocacy
AoD’s Independent Living Service
The Independent Living Service (Direct Payments) is a new service that will provide support to Direct Payment users within the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. The service will enable Disabled people to have genuine choice and control over the way in which they lead their lives. The post-holder will be working alongside disabled people to enable them to have more choice and control over their care and support needs.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a vibrant, user-led charity that is dedicated to enabling Disabled people who use social care support to have full choice and control over the way in which they live their lives.
Purpose of Post
In this role you will be providing essential information, advice and support to individuals from diverse backgrounds. You will work with Disabled clients to empower them to take control of the support they need by using Direct Payments, employing their own staff and accessing activities or services. You will ensure that individuals have the right information to make informed choices and will help them to set up and manage their chosen support.
You will have excellent communication, interpersonal and IT skills and the ability to work as part of a team. Experience of budgeting and recruitment are essential for this role.
Experience of working in social care is not essential as training will be provided, however a “can-do” attitude, a commitment to a person-centred approach and a willingness to learn is a must. Being part of a small team, there is a lot of opportunity for you to develop and learn new skills.
We welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds and actively encourage people with lived experience of impairment or Disability to apply.
The work is varied and calls upon a wide range of skills, and there is huge job satisfaction in supporting people to achieve greater wellbeing and independence.
Deadline for receipt of completed applications: 9am Friday August 30th 2024 (Feedback will not be provided to those not shortlisted for interview)
Interview dates: Wednesday 04th September 2024
Interviews will also be conducted on an ongoing basis, based on receipt of completed applications shortlisted. (Feedback will not be provided to those not shortlisted for interview)
