Swindon, United Kingdom Swindon Borough Council Full time

Swindon Borough Council are on an exciting journey to transform service delivery. We want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious vision in the new Swindon Plan is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at their heart. Because that’s who we’re doing it for - the communities and businesses that make our town great. As part of the Council, you’ll support a friendly local authority making decisions with real impact. It’s all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.

You are one of our integral Live Well Response Workers. You will complete practical tasks for social workers in order to support people to live independently at home. Response Workers are also often the first person on the ground to deliver practical solutions for people being discharged from hospital. You will bring practical skills, compassion and tenacity to the role ensuring that Swindon residents without the support of a network of friends or family feel supported to return to their home after a hospital admission. You will also provide practical support to social workers completing tasks that help people retain independence and live happy healthy lives.

**Your next role**

As part of a growing team, you will work with colleagues from across the health and social care system. The role involves partnership working with the Great Western Hospital. One day you may find yourself discussing patient priorities on the wards or moving furniture to make way for a hospital bed in a person’s home the next. No two days will be the same. You will be led by an experienced Project and Team Lead and colleagues in the wider team and will focus on ensuring that the Live Well offer is evidence based, person centred, well planned, safe and effective. You will always be curious to notice if someone you are working with might benefit from additional support or advice to ensure that residents, especially those facing the greatest inequalities, have positive healthy lives.
- You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act “for the effective performance of a customer-facing role”)._
- You must be able to drive and have access to a car in order to be available to support sessions and events around the town._

**Your next package**

Please see our Rewards and Benefits offer for more details.

As an employee, you will receive a diverse and exciting environment in which to work, encouraging creativity and innovation whilst recognising the need to support ongoing personal development and a flexible work life balance.

For Swindon to thrive in the future, we need to lay the foundations now. It’s why our regeneration and transformation programmes are already underway. So, you’ll be joining us at an exciting time on our journey. We’ll look to you to share your knowledge, influence decisions and drive real, positive change. With your contributions, we’ll achieve our vision of a prosperous, re-vitalised Swindon together. And you’ll be proud to say it was made better with you.

Please see our Vision and Values page for more details.
