About the Role
The Southwark Telecare service is seeking an experienced assessor to join our established Telecare Team. You will use your expertise to provide an enhanced Telecare service to the wider community. Technology Enabled Care is a growing and exciting sector within Social Care, offering opportunities to develop your skills and knowledge.

In this role, you will complete technology assessments in the community, identifying creative solutions including Telecare, stand-alone assistive technologies, and hearing impairment home-based equipment. Your work will enable service users to remain in their own homes according to their wishes, promoting independence, choice, and wellbeing, while also providing support to carers as appropriate.

Southwark Council is committed to tackling inequalities and fostering a just and fair borough. Our residents and communities are our greatest asset, and our work is underpinned by the Southwark Stands Together initiative, which addresses racism, injustice, and inequality.

Experience
Proven experience as an assessor within social care or a related field, with strong organisational, problem-solving, IT, and report writing skills essential for assessing service user needs and producing comprehensive reports.

About you
You will be skilled at prioritising and screening new referrals and participating in the Telecare Duty process. You should be motivated to work flexibly within a part-time role and committed to promoting independence and wellbeing for service users.

We value diversity and inclusion and encourage applications from members of black, Asian, and ethnic minority communities to increase representation at senior management levels.

Qualifications
Relevant qualifications or experience in social care or technology-enabled care are desirable but not explicitly stated. A commitment to ongoing professional development within this growing sector is expected.
