Are you ready to make a positive and rewarding change to your career? Are you passionate about supporting adults to achieve positive outcomes? Do you thrive on challenge? If the answer is yes, then we would welcome your application.
We have a full-time vacancy for a Resource Officer within the Conquest Hospital Discharge Team, which is based on site at the Conquest Hospital.
As a Resource Officer in Adult Social Care, you will play a key role in the assessment of adults who are currently in hospital and will support them to arrange care in order to facilitate their discharge.
You will gain a detailed knowledge of the Care Act (2014), Mental Capacity Act (2005), Equality legislation and the Deprivation of Liberty safeguards, and will implement this in your daily practice. You will also be expected to carry out the Local Authorities safeguarding duties to protect and mitigate risks to the individuals we serve.
We have excellent relationships with local partners and hospital trusts, and you will have the opportunity to work alongside other professionals to ensure good outcomes for the individuals you are working with. Where necessary, we work with our local Integrated Commissioning Boards (ICB’s) to ensure people we serve get access to continuing care funding.
We are looking for candidates who:
- Have experience working in an Adult Social Care or Social Care Setting
- Are able to communicate effectively with a range of people
- Are motivated about supporting others to achieve their outcomes
