Sheltered Housing Officer

This is an immediate role and will involve the following:

The Local Authority has 5 Sheltered Housing schemes, which are managed by a small team of officers within the Independent Living service in Housing, who provide support and assistance to enable our older and vulnerable residents to live independently.

You will be working in a pressured, demanding but rewarding environment and you will need to ensure that the highest standards are maintained. The role will involve regular weekend working (at least twice per month). Whilst you will be based at one scheme for the majority of the time you may be required to cover at any of the five sheltered schemes if required.

Experience of working in a sheltered housing environment is desirable, whilst experience of working with or caring for vulnerable older people and those living with a long term condition or a disability is essential. The successful candidates will have the skills and ability to communicate with a wide range of stakeholders including residents, staff and external agencies. You will use various computer-based systems daily and will be required to prepare and maintain up to date support plans and other relevant documents for our residents. All successful candidates will be required to undertake an Enhanced Adults DBS check.

If you feel you have the necessary skill and experience please apply for this role or contact Jade or Simone at Social Care Locums.
