Description

Are you looking for a career and not just 'another job'? Perhaps one where you can make a real difference? Are you someone who is great with people predominately on the phone or occasionally face to face?

We currently have a full time vacancy available for an Integrated Advice Officer to work within the adult social care function of the Single Point of Access.

The Single Point of Access (SPA) is a team of staff from different professional backgrounds (including Nurses, Social Workers, Occupational Therapists, Mental Health Practitioners, Integrated Advice Officers and A3 Assessors).

As an Integrated Advice Officer working within the SPA for adult health and social care, you will be part of a team that works a 4 week rolling rota covering 24hrs, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Your role will be to take referrals and provide professional advice and guidance around, wellbeing, and adult social care.

You will make decisions about the most appropriate response required which will include diverting callers to other services or resolving the issue yourself.

This role will also include the taking of adult safeguarding, occupational and physiotherapy referrals, and progressing these to the appropriate professional.

You will be provided with an intensive on-boarding period, which will initially include a mentor for day to day support and guidance.

You will also have access to focus' extensive training opportunities, which will enable you to understand, develop and adhere to relevant Adult Social Care legislation.

If you are a highly motivated, people focused person that can remain calm under pressure then this could be the role for you.
