This is an exciting opportunity for 5 motivated, enthusiastic and organised Community Care Officers to join an energetic and dynamic Urgent and Emergency Care Team, working across Nottinghamshire South covering Rushcliffe, Broxtowe and Gedling locality areas.

We are a team of Social Workers and Community Care Officers who are committed to ensuring that people are discharged from hospital safely, with the right support and ensuring any ongoing rehabilitation needs are identified to enable people to live as independently as possible.

We form part of the Acute/sub-acute discharge services in South Notts, supporting discharges out of Nottingham University Hospitals and Lings Bar rehabilitation Hospital.

You will be required to commission services and monitor packages of care within set timescales. You must have knowledge of community care legislation such as The Care Act 2014, Mental Capacity Act 2005, Carers Act, etc and relevant policies and procedures and be committed to providing a high-quality service. Ongoing training is provided and is an essential aspect of this role.

You will contribute to the strategic development of the service including Strengths Based Approaches, proportionate assessments and outcome focused personal budgets. Our philosophy 'Home First', recognises that people’s needs are best met in their own homes and upholds Care Act values of promoting independence.

We work closely with our colleagues in Health to promote holistic assessments of need, and jointly with people and their Carers and Families to foster a partnership way of working within a Strengths Based Approach.

The ability to communicate verbally and in writing with people receiving our services, carers and other professional colleagues is essential.
