Can you confidently self-coordinate a complex caseload whilst proactively seeking shared best decisions with individuals and multi-disciplinary multi-agency partners? Can you demonstrate effective working relationships across Locality Teams inclusive of GPs, Nursing, Social Work, Social Care, AHPs, Third and Independent sector organisations?

However, if you have a disability which precludes you from holding a driving licence consideration will be given if alternative transport can be arranged. Due to the ever-changing health and social care climate, this post holder may be required in the future to work flexibly within the context of working regular weekends, to provide a 6 or 7 day per week service. There is also a requirement to regularly travel to different workplaces.
