Devon, United Kingdom Devon County Council Full time

What is the Transitions Adult Social Care (TASC) Team (formally known as the Preparing for Adulthood (PFA) Team?

TASC is a social care team set within Integrated Adult Social Care, with strong links with Children’s Services and Education. We work with young people from the age of 14 up until 25 across the Devon County Council footprint. The team comprises of two Team Managers, Social Workers, Social Care Assessors and Occupational Therapists.

The TASC team works to the Care Act principles to engage with young people with a disability ensuring that independent living skills are promoted and maximised to facilitate young people’s ability to engage with their community, gain employment, and live and enjoy their adult life as independently as possible.

This is an exciting time for the transitions service as we have entered the second year of our TASC project. This project’s overall aim is to improve our joint services in supporting young people in Devon as they plan and make decisions about what their adult life will look like. Over the first year of the project we have shown that effective collaboration with Children’s Services, Education and voluntary agencies is improving the outcomes for young people, and those who care for them, as they transition into adulthood.

We are delighted to announce that we are looking to recruit a full time Social Care Assessor to join our team. It really is a very crucial time in our project development and the successful applicants for these posts will play a significant part as the TASC team continues to evolve. Being part of this project will require you, as part of our team to demonstrate flexibility, adaptability, and a commitment to continuous improvement in service delivery.
