Working in Social Care is a challenging and rewarding job. With your help people can remain independent for longer and have choice and control. In Kirklees we aim to deliver high quality personalised services.

Do you feel that you can work to deliver the outcomes of personalisation?

Working as part of the Dewsbury Community Wellbeing Team you will undertake initial assessments and reviews, for vulnerable people and work with the person’s informal/formal carers in the community.

You will be working with adults over the age of 18 with physical, sensory disabilities and mental health needs. A high-quality strength based, and customer focused approach is expected to assist in minimising the distress experienced by service users to ensure good outcomes are achieved.

You will engage in multi-agency working with a range of allied health and social care professionals to achieve the best outcomes for people. Awareness of working practices, legal frameworks and change agendas affecting partners - in particular, NHS, is essential.

You will be working with adults and carers to encourage Self-Directed support and Self-Assessment, making eligibility determinations as defined in the Care Act (2014) and have an awareness and understanding of Safeguarding procedures and the Mental Capacity Act (2005). Training will be provided to embed knowledge and adopt a positive approach to risk.

There’s a supportive feel to our team with approachable managers and assessors who have an open-door policy and are willing to listen; we all pull together to support each other and share our expertise.

**For this role you will need**:

- Experience of working in an informal/formal social care environment including offering Information, advice, and guidance to people.
- The literacy and numeracy skills to be able to complete financial assessments, keep up-to-date records, write assessment, support plans and reports and correspondence.
- Have an awareness of relevant legislation pertaining to Adult Social Care

Travel is an essential part of this job and therefore it would be extremely difficult for you to do your job effectively if you did not use a car for all or most of the time. It is essential that you hold a full and valid driving licence, and it is expected that you will either use a council vehicle or your own car (exceptions may be made for disabled applicants).

To be shortlisted for the role, please evidence how you meet the requirements set out in the “Employee Specification” section of the attached job profile.

If you have any questions about the role, please contact either Joanne Ferry (Team Manager) or Shaazia Groves (Deputy Team Manager) on 01924 482112.
