Description
Maintain effective time management tools when taking responsibility for a caseload of service users.

To liaise with OPD/Reach staff along with an extensive number of external agencies in the provision of support and interventions for identified health and social needs.

The post will require access to transport in order to attend appointments throughout the county.

To carry out all own administrative duties, which may require lengthy periods of time at a desk or computer, using hard copy and electronic records systems.

To undertake visits, in a range of locations, including offices and carers homes. Visits may be prolonged, and concentrated, particularly during initial visits.

There is occasional exposure to hazardous/highly unpleasant environmental conditions when home visiting and the post holder is likely to be exposed to individuals with challenging behaviour or those who are in crisis, are emotionally distressed and who can become verbally aggressive.

Risk assessments to be carried out, as necessary, as the nature of contacts with service users requires that work is predominantly undertaken alone, inline with lone working policy.
