**Passion **- you'll be passionate about making a difference to people's lives, determining the right level of care and providing superior holistic assessments - we want you to be autonomous and an advocate for our service users, forming a worthwhile connection with your calm and collected demeanour - you will be supporting with early discharges from hospital as well as visiting people's homes to assess various situations, so we need you to be courteous and respectful in every setting - your attention to detail will be second to none, identifying any and all risks to prevent hospital admission and mitigate these risks for hospital discharge. We aim maximise individuals' independence in their own home.

**Challenge **- you will be faced with a whole host of different needs and issues, not knowing what you will be faced with when working in the community - it is important that you can make those tough decisions, remaining firm but fair when it comes to determining what interventions are required - we want you to be insightful and have an awareness of the resources and services around you to mitigate any risks - you will be required to cover areas countywide so we need someone with a get up and go attitude - the workload is never something you can plan for so you will need to be prepared for anything, demonstrating resilience and thinking on your feet

**Collaborative **- although you will be working independently and need to be comfortable doing so, you will also be working alongside different Health and Social Care professionals - this is a well-respected and established team which has a primary and critical focus around multi-disciplinary working - your input and support will always be valued as you work closely with general practitioners, wards, relatives, community health and so much more - by joining us you will benefit from a comprehensive two-week induction programme in our bespoke Adult Social Care Academy, as well as regular supervisions with managers and opportunities to enhance your skills and knowledge

**Why join us **

**Benefits**:A plethora of discounts & benefits from dog care to day care to days out or in, log cabins by Snowdon or holidays abroad, pampering and fitness for your mind, body & soul, long service awards, Medicash, support groups, public service pensions, cycle to work schemes and eye tests plus many more

**Development**:you will get support and development along the journey - there will be time for supportive reflection and supervision for yourself, opportunities for personal growth and development, multidisciplinary initiatives, mentoring, the opportunity to make a difference, feel valued and achieve the job satisfaction you've always wanted

**Inclusivity**:we do not have a "one size fits all" idealism, we embrace diversity and that includes around personal and family requirements so appreciate that you will want to be working from home when you can, your hours may vary or change and for us - delivering successful outcomes is more important than watching the clock
