Crawley, United Kingdom West Sussex County Council Full time

About The Job

Salary:  £27,334 to £29,777 per annum
Working pattern:  37 hours per week
Contract type:  Permanent
Locations:  Crawley office base & surrounding areas 
Closing date:  31st May

Our Assistant Care Managers have a really supportive working environment and inductions are well planned with help from across the friendly and considerate team. There are approximately 20 members in the Crawley Community Social Work Team, with a mixture of qualified and unqualified team members, so whether it's in person, on the phone or even in the chat group there is always someone on hand to offer help and support. 

In the Crawley community team you will be working across Crawley and the surrounding areas. As well as assessing you will be completing plans, implementing and monitoring and reviewing care packages. Although the teams are really busy they love that no 2 days are the same and everyone is committed to improving the lives of West Sussex residents. 

To be successful in this role you will need to use your initiative and demonstrate personal resilience as you could have exposure to challenging behaviours from people who access or need the service. An important part of the role is accurate records of all of the amazing work you have undertaken, and produce reports and correspondence for a variety of audiences including multi disciplinary colleagues, families and people receiving a service.

If you are thinking why join West Sussex there is a supportive culture that is second to none. You will receive regular, supportive and reflective supervision from senior social work colleagues, but you will also need to use your own initiative where appropriate. Employees are genuinely valued, respected and there is an emphasis on work life balance. Hybrid working helps us deliver a great service and our employees enjoy the flexibility this gives to carry out their role whilst fitting around their home lives. In this role you will need to be in the office at Crawley for a minimum of 1 or 2 working days and the rest of the week can be worked on a hybrid basis.

Experience and Skills

Key Skills (please cover within your application):

Ability to analyse and interpret information and prioritise needs in order to make recommendations/decisions which will have a positive outcome.

Ability to work in a multi-agency environment to deliver a service to those people who access or need the service. Ability to communicate complicated or sensitive information to a range of audiences to achieve positive outcomes; to be able to communicate clearly with customers reflecting the service objectives and standards.
