Working as part of a busy multidisciplinary service, you will manage a varied caseload involving assessment, care planning, review and safeguarding.

Your responsibilities will include completing proportionate assessments, identifying eligible needs, arranging and reviewing care packages, and working collaboratively with families, carers, health professionals, housing services and voluntary-sector partners.
