Derby City Council is an innovative and forward-thinking Council, committed to developing practical and proportionate ways of undertaking social care assessments, support planning and interventions to enable the residents of Derby to live fulfilled lives, achieving their outcomes.

An exciting opportunity has arisen enabling the recruitment of a Community Care Worker to join our South locality team. The worker will carry out social care assessments and support customers to create individualised support plans to meet their identified needs. The successful candidate will be working with a wide range of customers aged 18 and over including individuals with Learning Disabilities, Physical Disabilities and Older adults.

Are you committed to supporting people to improve their health and wellbeing? Are you a positive, self-motivated person who is prepared to work differently, be accountable and willing to ‘go the extra’ mile?

You will need to have excellent communication and listening skills, with the confidence and ability to negotiate and challenge appropriately. You will need to have an understanding of the Care Act 2014 and be able to implement a strengths-based approach to your work with customers, their carers and support networks. You will be able to manage a case load independently, and work as part of a supportive team.

As part of our safer recruitment checks the successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.

All employees will normally be appointed to the minimum of the grade for the job. For reasons connected with a particular need of the Council it may be appropriate, subject to approval, to appoint to a higher point in the pay grade.

Before you complete your application form please read our guidance on filling in your application form.

Quick Tip! Remember to align your personal statement to the Essential Criteria in the Person Specification

Please be aware that where there are staff within the organisation who are 'at risk' of redundancy, requirements to redeploy to another suitable role will apply and take priority.

The closing date for this vacancy is 21 August 2023 at midnight. Any applications received after the closing date will not be accepted.
