    The framework will develop the knowledge, competencies and skills of trusted assessors and support them in carrying out their role such as prescription of equipment and adaptations to maximise independence for vulnerable adults and promote efficiencies.

    In the role, you will also assist to develop and implement standard operating procedures for equipment prescribed by Trusted Assessors. You will forge links with training providers to ensure that the trusted assessor training provided meets the needs of South West London partners.

    You will assist to evaluate the effectiveness of the Trusted Assessor Framework using outcome measures and report on key performance indicators. You will also assist to gain feedback from residents to shape your work and take strengths and outcome-based approaches.

    You will provide direct support to trusted assessors through forums and joint work to support their development.

    You will report to the Lead Occupational Therapist for Trusted Assessor Delivery, who is also being recruited as part of this project. You will receive monthly supervision and guidance, as well as informal support.

    Applications are welcome for a secondment or fixed term contract. This role will end on 31st March .

    Sutton has embraced hybrid working. You will be required to be based in the office regularly and be able to travel across South West London. There will also be ample opportunities to work remotely.
