If you are a registered Social Worker, Occupational Therapist or Nurse then we would love to hear from you.

We are offering an excellent opportunity for a KR9-KR10 to join a friendly, dynamic and supportive team which promotes professional development.

The post would be based in the Swale area and focusing on the work for discharge planning for clients under the Older Persons Physical Disability (OPPD) remit.

This post is within a team that works collaboratively with health and other partnership agencies and focuses on promoting a person's independence.

We are looking for motivated, experienced professionals who are interested in working within the Short Term Pathways, and keen to work with Acute, Community Hospitals.

The successful applicant also needs to be flexible in their approach and committed to working in an integrated team and ready to embrace new ways of working, to help further shape our services.

As a Registered Practitioner within the Short Term Pathways team you will be working with people over the age of 18 with a wide range of needs, you will manage a caseload requiring assessment, review and on-going support to make a real difference in achieving improved outcomes and leading to independent living for the service user.

Our team in Short Term Pathways is creative, dynamic and diverse.

The team are proud of the high standard of service we provide to our customers at their most vulnerable times.

Whilst mainly working from home at the current time, a fixed working base will be discussed at interview.

The ability to travel across a wide geographical area in a timely and flexible manner at various times of the day is essential.

You should note that public transport is rarely a viable option as some rural areas of Kent often have limited public transport.

We are increasingly accessible to the public outside of traditional office hours, as we move towards an 8 am to 8 pm, 7 days a week service to ensure service needs are met.

This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position.

The Council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English/Welsh sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements.

The appropriate standards are set out in the Job Description/Person Specification.
