Experience in a customerfacing, health, social care, or community role is helpful, but your values, attitude, and willingness to learn are just as important.

You will be confident using triage tools, recording information clearly, and making sound decisions about next steps. You will know when to escalate safeguarding or complex concerns and will work well with colleagues and partners to ensure a coordinated response. An understanding of local community resourcesor the motivation to build this knowledgewill help you connect people to early help and preventative support. If you are committed to promoting independence, dignity and positive outcomes for residents, we would love to hear from you.
