- Lead a community support team, ensuring high standards of dementia care, disability support, and general assistance to vulnerable individuals.
- Collaborate with service users to develop and deliver personalised care plans, including personal care, household tasks, medication management, and health promotion.
- On-call coordination – support emergency responses (20:00–08:00) while also managing daily operational duties from home.
- Drive a sense of community engagement by supporting service users in independent activities (e.g., shopping, leisure, social events).
- Work closely with Lancashire County Council management, partners, and healthcare teams to ensure seamless service delivery.
- Maintaining accurate records and ensuring compliance with health and safety, equality, and safeguarding policies.
