Are you passionate about supporting people and want to make a real difference?

An exciting opportunity has become available to work under our Access Services in Adult Social Care for 2 Carers Assessment Workers to support main informal (unpaid) carers and the people they care for. The role will involve face to face visits to people living in the community to maximise rapid identification of risks and eligible support needs. This role is central to the Care Act 2014 and has a focus on providing support which will prevent, reduce or delay the need for long term care and support and maximise the wellbeing of those assessed.

It is a great time to join us as we look to continue to improve our integrated service offer to our residents, you would have the opportunity to contribute to this work.

2 posts are available at 37 hrs a week. Opportunity for 4hrs overtime a week to meet service requirements when demand is required, for which you will be paid enhancements.

The post holder will be part of the The Carers Team within Adult Social Care and Health. Your focus will be on assessing the needs of the informal carer and joint working with the Carers Hub to begin them on their support journey towards greater wellbeing and resilience to maintain their caring role. You will provide creative and preventative interventions including Wellbing Grants, daily living equipment and assistive technologies as part of wider social care assessments to support both the informal carer and the person they care for. You will provide practical support and identify appropriate referrals and interventions to promote or maintain independence and well-being. Management of risk and identification of timely interventions which can promote independence is key to this role.

Experience of working for Adult Social Care within the community is essential. An understanding of the needs of carers and a ‘strengths based’ approach to support is fundamental. An appreciation of the role of daily living equipment and technology is important but full training on the Enhanced Assessor role and Telecare interventions will be provided.

Our ethos here in Brighton & Hove is to put our clients at the centre of everything we do and we actively encourage staff within the team to work together with other colleagues across the wider Adult Social Care service so that we can better meet the needs of our clients.

Working with us
- what one of our workers says about working for the team
- “I am a carer assessment worker working within the assessment services and work in partnership with the carers Hub.

As we team, we complete carers assessment’s over the phone, virtually or meeting carers in their homes. All main informal carers have a right to a carers assessment if they provide, or intend to provide, unpaid support to someone who could not manage without their help. There is a lot of help and support that a carer can access and a carers assessment is a useful first step in helping the carer to understand their situation and the needs they may have.

The assessment looks at the care and support the carer provides and how this impacts on their life, including their health and wellbeing and what they would like to achieve and the support they might need to achieve this.

I enjoy working for a supportive, diverse team that communicate well with each other and are committed to meeting the needs of the carer and those they care for”
