This is an excellent opportunity for someone who has the ability to work well under pressure and manage a variety of conflicting priorities.

This post is based at St Peters House for our Dover Kent Enablement at Home team and is vital, to ensuring that the busy team can support as many adults as possible with short term enablement services in the community.

We are looking for motivated and proactive people, who want to make a difference to the community, within a team that work collaboratively with internal and external partners and focuses on promoting independence for the people we support. The successful applicant also needs to be flexible in their approach and ready to embrace new ways of working to help further shape our services.

The role requires you to manage a caseload of people we support requiring domiciliary services (including enablement/assessment provision) to the people we support establishing SMART Enablement goals in identifying the correct level of need and the outcomes required, and to enable the people we support to maintain their independence.

• Ensure support plans for people with support needs are implemented and regularly reviewed.
• Recruitment, training and development of staff with varying skill sets

The successful candidate requires excellent communication skills both verbal and written and good IT literacy as the post involves daily use of computerised systems.
