You’ll offer support to avoid crisis situations and when appropriate, provide links back into the community to prevent social isolation and maximise independence.
This role involves being a point of contact for, and work closely with; hospitals, community services, health and social care staff and customers to build strong relationships increasing engagement in our services.
Your will work include time spent within local hospitals, in the community, and at our Age UK Lancashire offices.

**What we are looking for**
Compassionate and caring, you treat people as individuals and promote each person’s dignity, privacy and independence.
You will be able to understand the needs of older people or other vulnerable groups, ideally with experience of promoting independence, health and wellbeing and social inclusion.
Focussed on providing a consistent high-quality service which is person-centred, flexible, reliable and responsive, you will be able to use your decision-making skills to manage and prioritise a varied workload.
You should be able to communicate effectively to build relationships with clients, other health care professionals and colleagues.
Utilising a range of IT and digital resources, you will be able to manage your time efficiently and effectively.
Joining a thriving organisation, you’ll be part of a team of around 240 Colleagues and 110 Volunteers who deliver services such as Support In The Community, Information & Advice, Home Help, Hospital Aftercare, Digital Inclusion and Retail.
