General Description
SOL Connect is an established, multi-award-winning digital Technology Enabled Care (TEC) Service that empowers people to live independently in their own homes within the community. Integrating cutting-edge technology with person-centred planning, we collaborate with people to create TEC solutions that enable them to take control of their own care journey.
This is a unique opportunity for a person centred and forward-thinking support practitioner to use their skills to deliver support in a different way.
Job Purpose
As the SOL Connect Advisor you will play a crucial role in ensuring the safety, wellbeing, and independence of the people we support. Providing responsive remote support over our video conferencing HUB, you will apply traditional care and support skills and experience using bespoke technology.
The people that we support may call in using their HUB technology for a chat, some reassurance, or reminders to take medication or lock up at night. Others may call in at times of distress or when their mental health has deteriorated. SOL Connect Advisors possess a unique set of skills that enable them to seamlessly move between calls, delivering compassionate care and support remotely.
Please Note - This position involves extended periods of sitting and screen time.
Work Pattern
This role involves working 12-hour shifts on a rotational basis, including both day shifts (07:00–19:00) and night shifts (19:00–07:00). The shift pattern also includes working every second weekend.
Contract Type: 3-month fixed-term contract, with the possibility of extension depending on the needs of the organisation. Upon completion of the contract, the successful candidate may be offered alternative work, subject to availability.
