North Somerset, United Kingdom North Somerset Council Full time

Job description

**An exciting opportunity has arisen for a full-time Adult Social Care Worker to join the friendly, supportive and well-established Hospital Discharge Assessment Team (HDAT), supporting residents of North Somerset upon leaving hospital.**

***

**About the role**

Our team (HDAT) provides adult social care support, in line with the Care Act 2014 and with regard to the Mental Capacity Act 2005, to residents of North Somerset who may have care and support needs following a stay in hospital. We work alongside partner agencies within the Discharge to Assess (D2A) model.

The team consists of Senior Social Workers, Social Workers, Occupational Therapists and Adult Social Care Workers. Staff undertake Care Act assessments, mental capacity and best interest assessments, identify eligible needs and produce care and support plans to ensure a person’s needs are met effectively for the longer term. Staff advocate for the individual whilst working positively with family members and carers, together with other professionals involved with the person, for the best outcomes. Staff work proactively in a strengths-based way to ensure people are also able to draw on their own abilities and support networks for a quality of life, in addition to care provision.

Our team follows the flexible worker model, which involves a mixture of time spent working at home and in our offices in Clevedon. Most of the assessment work is undertaken in the community, in care homes or people’s own homes.

HDAT also has a presence in the Transfer of Care Hubs in our main local hospitals, where engaging with the person earlier in their hospital journey can minimise the disruption to their normal life and shorten their hospital stay.

***

A valid driving licence and own transport, or be able to provide alternative, suitable method of travel throughout North Somerset is an essential condition for this role.

Please note that while our current office base is in Clevedon, plans are in place for this to move to the Town Hall in Weston-super-Mare later this year.

**About you**

You should have established community experience and a good understanding of a wide range of services available throughout North Somerset. You would be working alongside professionals in our partner teams including Social Workers, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists and Nurses. An understanding of the Assessment Process, Personalisation and community services (voluntary, independent, Health and Social Care) would be an advantage. You would be expected to keep accurate records, and good computer skills are essential.

If you are looking for a new challenge, have good communication skills and would enjoy working in an established, supportive team with the people of North Somerset to give them choice and independence, we would be delighted to hear from you.

**Why North Somerset Council?**

We understand working for a local authority is more than just a job. We want to ensure our employees remain passionate about what they do and enjoys their time at North Somerset. Whether that means you want training and development opportunities or a flexible working arrangement to fit around family commitments, we will work with you to ensure you are getting the best out of your employment.

Join us and you’ll receive an excellent rewards package including flexible working and flexitime, membership of the Local Government Pension scheme, and a generous annual leave allowance with the option to purchase up to an additional 10 days per year. Further details of our excellent rewards package can be found in our **Benefits booklet**.**

**Want to know more and apply?**

For an informal discussion, please contact **Paul Obrey, HDAT Team Manager, **on **07385373117.**

**Anticipated interview date**:Thursday 27 June 2024.

At North Somerset Council we want all our employees to feel valued and appreciated. We aim to ensure equality of opportunity and prevent discrimination irrespective of your sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion or belief, race, age, disability, including neurodiversity, if you are married or in a civil partnership or are pregnant. We strive to create a workplace that reflects the communities we serve and where everyone feels empowered to bring their full, authentic selves to work.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all our staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
