You should also communicate effectively with colleagues from internal and external agencies and organisations working in a collaborative way to achieve the best possible outcomes for individuals.
You should have a good understanding of data protection and GDPR legislation and be able to maintain confidentiality, but also understand when it is appropriate/necessary to share information.
You should be a resilient, tenacious individual who can deal with the challenges and hurdles you may encounter and you should have strength of character and be solution-focused to work with individuals to help them achieve their goals and outcomes.
You will have a non-judgemental attitude, be empathetic and sensitive to tenants’ needs. You will understand and have an awareness of the health, wellbeing and individual needs of older people ensuring a person-centred approach to achieve the best outcomes for the people you are supporting.
