Job description

We are currently offering a rewarding opportunity within our Carer Assessment Service, who are responsible for carrying out Statutory and Preventative Carer Assessments across West Sussex, and specifically to visit carers living in the mid Sussex area. As a Carer Wellbeing Assessor, you will use your knowledge and / or experience of assessments, your working knowledge and / or lived experience of health and social care, and your excellent communication and interpersonal skills to carry out Carer Assessments under the Care Act 2014. You will provide access to the most appropriate and proportionate support to meet the identified need(s). This is a home-based role with occasional travel across West Sussex for meetings and home visits. While work is countywide, a base in the Mid Sussex area is preferred, as much of the work and any occasional home visits will be concentrated in this part of the county.

Responsibilities

• Provide statutory and preventative assessments via face-to-face, online, and telephone channels for adults caring for a relative or friend who cannot manage without their help.
• Accurately record all interventions on CSWS Client Record Management System and WSCC MOSAIC, ensuring decisions are evidenced and actions documented for timely reporting.
• Use outcome-based tools to support carers in creating personal plans and demonstrate impact through Carer Star reviews, surveys, case studies, and feedback.
• Work collaboratively with Health, Social Care, and Voluntary Sector partners, and liaise closely with Adult Social Care colleagues to promote the Carer Assessment Service.
• Champion the principles of Think Carer across networks, proactively identifying carers through outreach, community engagement, and partnership working.
