JOB SUMMARY
Stroud District Council is looking for an enthusiastic and committed Enabling Officer to work as part of a small team in our 28 Independent Living sites across the Stroud District. The role is essentially to enable older people to maintain their tenancies, sustain independence, and have a good quality of life. You will provide housing-related support including home visits, signposting, and understanding and facilitating the needs of older people. The role also requires you to contribute to community life by working with residents to support, develop, and promote social inclusion in communal areas of our Independent Living sites including our Independent Living HUBS.
About you
The successful candidate will have relevant experience to work within our Independent Living sites with excellent time management and organisational skills in relation to managing your own workload. You will be a self-starter with a willingness to investigate and identify areas needing improvement in social inclusion activities, with the ability to communicate with partner agencies and visitors to our Independent Living sites. You will be able to identify support needs of older people, meeting needs and raising alerts where appropriate. Assist with communal activities and events as well as local meetings and surgeries.
