Be the calm voice on the line. Be the difference behind the scenes.
Are you ready to play a vital role in a fast-paced, responsive social care service? Norfolk Swift Response is looking for Reablement Liaison Officers to join our dedicated team—providing essential coordination and support that helps vulnerable people.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Reablement Liaison Officer, you’ll be the first point of contact for referrals and queries, working closely with GPs, community health teams, social services, service users and their families. You’ll be part of a supportive and friendly team and your responsibilities will include:
- Taking referrals via phone and our social care system (Liquid Logic)
- Working alongside the East of England Ambulance Service to respond to incoming referrals for Swift and Night Owl services.
- Triaging incoming information against service eligibility criteria, escalating to a manager where unclear, and making timely decisions on referrals.
- Planning and coordinating staff logistics—ensuring the right teams are sent to the right calls, making effective use of staffing resources.
- Deploying support workers to respond to unplanned care needs such as falls, personal care, or welfare checks.
- Providing real-time support to our Support Workers in the field—answering queries and offering a calm, reassuring voice.
- Supporting referrals into Norfolk First Support.
Why This Role Matters
You’ll be at the heart of a service that operates 24/7, 365 days a year—helping people remain at home and avoid unnecessary hospital visits. Your coordination and decision-making will directly impact the quality and speed of care delivered.
Who We’re Looking For
- Someone who is adaptable and able to respond to changing priorities and challenges
- Excellent ICT and customer service skills
- Ability to work under pressure and to tight deadlines
- Confidence in assessing risk and making decisions independently, knowing when to escalate to a manager
- A collaborative mindset and a team-focused attitude
