- To manage own caseload and have the ability to prioritise tasks and responsibilities whilst ensuring assessments are completed within an agreed timeframe.
- To work in partnership to improve collaboration and coordination to achieve the best possible outcomes for Carers.
- To work as part of a team, participating in team meetings, team building, training and activities.
- To prepare for and participate in regular supervision meetings and to seek additional supervision as required.
- To demonstrate awareness/understanding of equal opportunities and other people’s behavioural, physical, social and welfare needs.
- To ensure that reasonable care is taken at all times for the health, safety and welfare of yourself and other persons, and to comply with the policies and procedures relating to health and safety and safeguarding within the organisation.
- To undertake developmental tasks and carer awareness-raising as required. This may include being involved with fund-raising however this will be discussed with the worker on a case-by-case basis.
- To carry out any other duties which fall within the broad spirit, scope and purpose of this job description and which are commensurate with the grade of the post.

In the interests of effective working, the major tasks may be reviewed from time to time to reflect changing needs and circumstances.
