This is an exciting opportunity to join our Kent Shared Lives Service.

Kent Shared Lives are seeking two Shared Lives Workers due to growth of the service, to work within a dedicated team to ensure Shared Lives Carers provide high quality support to the vulnerable adults in their care.

Kent Shared Lives provides adults the opportunity to stay in the homes of recruited, trained, and approved Carers and their families.

This role involves monitoring and supporting the Shared Lives Carers, to ensure they maintain accurate records and fulfil their obligation within the Care Quality Commission’s regulations, The Care Act requirements and Shared Lives policies and procedures.

You will have experience of working with people with social care needs.

You must also possess:

- Diploma Level 3 in Health and Social Care (or equivalent)
- Experience of working within a multi-agency environment.
- Knowledge of relevant Social Care legislation.
- Good computer literacy and report writing skills.
- Excellent interpersonal skills, mediation, and negotiation skills.

We are looking for employees who have a positive, forward-thinking attitude who can work autonomously and collaboratively as part of a team.

Kent County Council offer an attractive benefits package and a commitment to ensuring that you achieve a healthy work life balance and opportunities for flexible working arrangements that meet business need.

Annual leave of 27 days rising to 29 after 5 years of service, bank holidays and an annual concessionary day around Christmas.

You will have excellent opportunities for professional development with access to our social care academy.

Hybrid working is offered, team meetings/supervision and other ad hoc meetings are office based.

The ability to travel across Kent in a timely and flexible manner at various times of the day is essential.

This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position. The Council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English/Welsh sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements.
