Social Care Officer
Adult Services

Department of Communities and Wellbeing

 

Post:      Social Care Officer

Full Time

Salary:       £24,313 (pro rata)

Matrix payments for evening and weekend work and car user payments where applicable.

 

We are part of The Bury Local Care Organisation (Bury LCO) formally launched on 1 April 2019, although we have been developing over the last year or so.

The aim of the LCO is to enable improvements in population health and wellbeing, by providing improved health and care services to the people of Bury. We are an innovative formal alliance of organisations: Bury Council; Bury GP Federation; BARDOC; Bury Voluntary, Community and Faith Alliance; Northern Care Alliance NHS Group (Salford Royal and Pennine Acute Hospital NHS Trusts); Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust; Persona Care and Support Ltd.

The LCO partners have made a commitment to work together as a single new body within the public sector, responsible for the transformation and delivery of a group of services and improving people’s health.

They also work closely with NHS Bury CCG which, with the Council, forms what is known as the One Commissioning Organisation (OCO).

The Bury LCO will work as one joined-up team rather than separate organisations, leading to more coordinated help and support, getting the best value for public money.

Bury is making a significant investment to improve the capacity and capability of Intermediate Care under the leadership of the Bury LCO.

 

Working with local commissioners to deliver the integration and transformation of local health and care services is part of Bury’s Locality Plan. Improved Intermediate care will enable more people to have their health and social care needs met at home and in the community and avoid people being treated in hospital or care homes.

 

The new delivery model for the Intermediate tier of services is designed to bring together health and social care into a Bury-wide integrated team delivering services under single leadership. 

 

We are looking to recruit a number of permanent and fixed term contracts until September 2021 of Social Care Officers within these services. 

 

You must be a car driver and have access to a car. This is an exciting time to join the service to enhance existing teams. 

 

The Services are community based services working as part of a multi-disciplinary team that can make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable adults living within the Bury area.   You will encourage and motivate customers and assist them to build their confidence and achieve their personal goals.

 

You will need to demonstrate enthusiasm, commitment, drive and a strong teamwork ethic and be flexible in supporting colleagues and the service during busy times and periods of absence.  You will be supportive in assisting and promoting the community services. 

 

If you are highly enthusiastic, energetic and a great team player we would especially like to hear from you. Come and join a great team and help us to make a difference to the lives of Bury people who may need our help and support to achieve maximum independent living skills.

 

The LCO/Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff to share this commitment.  Appointment is subject to a satisfactory disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service.

 

In order to support budget reductions in Local Government, the Council looked at many ways to reduce spending that minimised the need to reduce employee numbers or impact on services.
