    Default job background
    Full time
    Description

    RBL provides life-changing support to our Armed Forces community which includes those who have served, those still serving, and their families. At times of crisis and need we offer them vital advice, assistance and funding.

    We are looking for an Independent Living Advisor to provide advice, support and advocacy for people living with long term illness or disabilities, or caring for someone with these conditions, helping them to access appropriate support services.

    As an Independent Living Advisor, you will:

  • Provide a comprehensive independent living advice service to people experiencing difficulties with day-to-day living, mobility, and self-care, or to those caring for someone in this situation, ensuring they have sufficient and appropriate information to make informed choices, working in a way which empowers them to take and maintain control of their own lives
  • Complete person-centred and holistic assessments, using information from Occupational Therapists and other health and social care professionals as necessary, to establish their eligibility for support services in their area, and provide advice on support options available to people via statutory, charitable, and private sources.
  • Provide a person-centred support service within a designated region to include some home visits, and other face-to-face activities in local communities as required.
  • Manage a diverse and often complex caseload covering matters relating to care assessments and care fees, Disabled Facilities Grants, equipment and minor adaptations, Direct Payments, personal budgets, disability advocacy, and access to other funding streams as appropriate.
  • Come and be part of the leading Armed Forces charity, making a difference to the lives of those who have served to keep us safe and protect our way of life.

    Here at RBL, we aim to support our people and their wellbeing, with a package including generous paid holiday allowance and pension scheme contributions, and a range of optional benefits and discounts.

    You will be contracted to your home address, and you will perform most of your work remotely there using our collaboration tools to work with colleagues, with occasional travel (incl. for monthly team meetings).

    For more detailed information about the role, please see our Vacancy Information Pack attached to our direct advert.

    RBL is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive organisation, reflecting the diversity of the armed forces community and of wider society. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and personal characteristics and aim to operate an inclusive recruitment process.

    Closing Date: 12th May 2024
