  • To participate in professional development, using appropriate learning opportunities to improve relevant knowledge and skills.
  • To ensure that all activities of the project provide equality of opportunity.
  • To ensure that all policies and procedures are implemented within your working practice.

Requirements

  • Experience of working in health or social care.
  • Experience of supporting unpaid carers or working with people.
  • Ability to work as part of a team, prioritise own workload, manage own diary, build relationships with carers and professionals, and use management databases.
  • Attendance at occasional evening or weekend events.
