Independent Living Advisor (Direct Payments)
Salary: £26,000
Hours: 37.5 hours a week
Place of work: Centre for Independent Living, Clem Atlee Court, London SW6
Contract period: Rolling
Managed by: Direct Payments Lead
Accountable to: Youth and Community Services Manager
The Organisation
Founded in 1979, this is one of London’s leading Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisations. They believe in the social model of Disability, their values and principles embrace inclusive and accessible ways of working both internally and in all their activities, seek the participation and contribution of their members, and encourage and respect diversity.
The organisation is a medium sized charity with a Board of Trustees (at least 75% is Disabled trustees), 20 staff and a strong ad hoc staff and volunteer base including many with direct experience of Disability - all of whom are passionate about removing the barriers that Disabled people face.
They provide five key services. These are: Youth, Employment, Welfare Benefits, Independent Living and Advocacy
The Independent Living Service
The Independent Living Service (Direct Payments) is a new service that will provide support to Direct Payment users within the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. The service will enable Disabled people to have genuine choice and control over the way in which they lead their lives. The post-holder will be working alongside disabled people to enable them to have more choice and control over their care and support needs.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a vibrant, user-led charity that is dedicated to enabling Disabled people who use social care support to have full choice and control over the way in which they live their lives.
About the Role
In this role you will be providing essential information, advice and support to individuals from diverse backgrounds. You will work with Disabled clients to empower them to take control of the support they need by using Direct Payments, employing their own staff and accessing activities or services. You will ensure that individuals have the right information to make informed choices and will help them to set up and manage their chosen support.
You will have excellent communication, interpersonal and IT skills and the ability to work as part of a team. Experience of budgeting and recruitment are essential for this role.
Experience of working in social care is not essential as training will be provided, however a “can-do” attitude, a commitment to a person-centred approach and a willingness to learn is a must. Being part of a small team, there is a lot of opportunity for you to develop and learn new skills.
The work is varied and calls upon a wide range of skills, and there is huge job satisfaction in supporting people to achieve greater wellbeing and independence.
This employer welcomes and encourages job applications from people of all backgrounds and actively encourage people with lived experience of impairment or Disability to apply. They pride themselves on being an accessible and equal opportunity employer.
Closing Date: final deadline for receipt of completed applications; 10am Friday 10th January 2025
Interview dates: Week Commencing 20th January 2025, Interviews will be conducted on an ongoing basis.
(Feedback will not be provided to those not shortlisted for interview)
