In this role, you will play a pivotal part in identifying effective strategies to manage their diverse needs. This will involve providing good quality advice and information as well as connecting them to community resources.

**The role**

Where necessary, the SCP will work with individuals in crisis, stabilizing their situations and, when needed, strategically planning long-term support packages to address ongoing needs.

Supported by a proficient administration team, the role highlights the significance of collaborative efforts. Effective teamwork is at the core of our approach, ensuring a comprehensive and unified provision of care and support.

Furthermore, the role extends beyond our immediate team to involve partnerships with both external partners (e.g., Health, Voluntary Sector) and internal partners (e.g., Commissioning, Safeguarding). Your ability to work well with various stakeholders will be crucial for success in this position.

West Berkshire Council offer excellent employment benefits such as:

- Access to a wide range of training and development opportunities
- Generous Local Government pension scheme
- Family friendly policies
- A range of local discounts
- Wellbeing Programme including Employee Assistance Programme and employee benefits
- You will also be entitled to a generous annual leave entitlement starting at 28 days per annum (plus public holidays) Rising by an additional 5 days after 5 years’ service.
