Advert Wording
Working in social care is a challenging and rewarding job. With your help people can remain independent for longer and have choice and control. In Kirklees we aim to deliver high quality personalised services and are looking for a Community Assessment Support Officer who is passionate about delivering the outcomes of personalisation. Is that you?
You will be required to consider holistic assessments and reviews of a person’s needs, and this will involve seeking and encouraging the contribution of customers, carers and relatives, as well as others involved in their lives and in the provision of their care, including health professionals. A high-quality strength based, and customer focused approach is expected, and is essential in ensuring positive, person centred outcomes are achieved.
