Do you have experience working with vulnerable adults and a passion for helping people maintain their independence?
We are looking for a compassionate and motivated Trusted Triage Assessor to join our Joint Equipment Stores team. This rewarding role combines assessment, customer-focused support and the delivery of low-level daily living aids to help people remain safe, independent and confident in their own homes.

- Delivering, fitting and maintaining equipment in customers' homes.
- Providing instruction, guidance and practical demonstrations to ensure equipment is used safely and effectively.
- Carrying out risk assessments and maintaining accurate case records and documentation.
- Making referrals and signposting individuals to other services and agencies where appropriate.
- Promoting the use of assistive technology and equipment solutions that maximise independence.
- Ensuring equipment is collected and recycled when no longer required.
- Working closely with health, social care and community partners to achieve positive outcomes for residents.
