Permanent contracts

We are seeking enthusiastic Assistant Practitioners to join Eastern Community Care Team.  We work with older people, adults with a physical disability and their carers. We are a highly motivated, innovative team of Social Workers, Occupational Therapists and Assistant Practitioners.  We undertake Care Act assessments, support planning, reviews and provide information, advice and signposting.

You will have excellent communication, record-keeping and keyboard skills, along with experience of working with vulnerable people.  In addition, you should have a commitment to excellent customer service and have an understanding of the Care Act 2014.  You will have a strong commitment to multi-disciplinary working, promoting independence and be prepared to embrace the team’s practice of the 3 Conversation Model, which prevents, reduces and delays reliance upon formal social care.

We are a forward-thinking team that thrives on taking the lead on new initiatives.  We have responded positively to the challenges imposed upon us by the Covid-19 pandemic and have embraced the opportunities in looking at how things can be done differently.  Although we have always promoted working from home, this has now become essential and with the use of technology, you will be provided with the support needed to integrate into the team.

Our technology platform and equipment are first class, enabling you to connect and collaborate remotely. We ask that you have in place good Broadband connectivity.

You must be committed to working with community health care colleagues and the broader community, recognising the contribution each can make in facilitating good outcomes for those we work with.
