**About us**:
Despite the challenges that Adult Social Care has faced within the last 12 months, our approach in Buckinghamshire has not been to take shelter and wait for the storm to pass. Instead, we have chosen to **transform** **and restructure Adult Social Care **so we can respond to a crisis as well as build for the future.

No two days are the same in Adult Social Care. By joining us, you will be part of something bigger. You will meet a variety of people, supporting their individual needs to make a real difference every single day. Plus, as an employee of Buckinghamshire Council, we support you, your career development and your progression.

Buckinghamshire is an ambitious, rapidly growing county, and our economy is one of the strongest in the country. We are looking for motivated, ambitious and inspiring people to join us on our journey.

**About the role**:
To ensure the highest standards of service are provided to the residents of Buckinghamshire, your responsibilities as a Social Care Assistant will include:

- To deliver direct care and support within the community, to an agreed plan using own initiative, utilising management oversight remotely.
- To provide people with information and advice in relation to care and support and assistance in accessing care and support through various means.
- To respond to enquiries in an informative and knowledgeable way to enable people to better help themselves and others.
- To work as part a CQC Registered service in the community, maintaining a high degree of autonomy and utilising own initiative in delivering compliant care and support independently.
- Ensuring an agreed plan meets individual’s care and support outcomes needs and to empower the individual to access early intervention and preventative services.
- To inform senior colleagues and adhere to safeguarding procedure of any concerns which arise in relation to the safety of vulnerable adults.
- To work in partnership with individuals, carers, service providers, voluntary sector and other professionals.

Fixed

As a ‘fixed’ worker, you’ll spend most of your time in the same location, which will likely be a fixed office or location where your role is performed. Typically, you’ll be based in the same location as the rest of your team, because you provide a particular service from that fixed location or need access to information there.

**About you**:
Naturally, you will be a great people person, able to deliver practical care and support to an agreed plan, within the community or as part of a CQC regulated function, using own initiative to problem solve utilising remote management oversight, where required.

This may involve undertaking a specialist role that requires specific training (e.g. autism services) or undertaking and administering personal care and/or medication. Post holders may hold a minimum Level 2 Care Certificate.

**Here's what Stephanie had to say** _'Every single day that I go to work I make a positive difference in someone’s life. My work has true meaning, and even if I've had a challenging day, I know that I've made a positive contribution.'_
