Permanent contract | £27,711 to £32,654 per annum (Scale F/G) | 37 hours per week | County Hall, Norwich

The Social Care Community Engagement Team is at the forefront of implementing "Living Well," Norfolk's approach to delivering a new model of social care. This method focuses on strengthening our front door and encouraging social care professionals to have meaningful conversations with individuals to create better outcomes. It promotes connecting with local networks and community support, moving away from process-driven 'hand-offs'.

Responsibilities include excellent communication, record-keeping, keyboard skills, and experience working with individuals requiring care and support. A commitment to customer service, managing high work turnover efficiently, and familiarity with the department’s eligibility criteria are essential. Support and training will be provided to aid your development, emphasizing personalised care and strong relationships to empower individuals and foster a collaborative environment.

The team currently operates in a hybrid model (home and office working), with flexibility expected to adapt to service demands.
