Do you feel passionate and have experience in promoting independence and aspiration for individuals who have a learning disability, their carers, and families?
Do you want a better work-life balance and feel passionate about the job you would be doing, making a difference in the lives of adults and carers?
Our hybrid working offer supports our employees to manage the pressures of life alongside a rewarding career. We’ve changed our flexi-time policy too, meaning even greater flexibility in working hours, so that you are supported to take time for those important things in life when you need to.
Interested? We are seeking a Social Care Officer with strong ethics and values to support adults and carers in our communities to live the life they choose, regardless of their age or stage of life. We currently have vacancies in our Adult Learning Disabilities Team.
Approval may be given by the appropriate Director/Assistant Director to offer a removal and relocation package in accordance with the Removal and Relocation Policy. Redcar & Cleveland operate a 6-month probationary period for a successful candidate.
Our Vision: We will help you live safe and well, in the place you call home, with the people and things you love, connected to your community, doing the things that matter to you.
Our commitment to adults and unpaid carers:
1. Listen - I am listened to and shape my own support
2. Advise - I am given information and advice when I need it
3. Enable - I am enabled to regain my wellbeing and independence
4. Support - I receive quality care that is value for money.
Our ambition is that every adult lives a good quality life, as they would choose to, and as independently as possible. It is our values and passion that motivates us, and if you are a driven professional who shares these values, then we want to hear from you!
Our workforce is our greatest asset, and to show we mean this we offer many benefits including free parking, generous holiday entitlement, and flexible hybrid working that meets your needs, as well as those of the people we serve.
In addition, there will be opportunities available for learning and development in relation to the role of social care officer in terms of access to training and the Social Work Apprenticeship.
