Argyll and Bute Care and Repair are an independent registered charity, funded primarily via the Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership. We provide practical, technical and financial advice and assistance to older and disabled clients to enable them to remain in safety and comfort in their own homes.
This is a permanent full time role (35hrs), 09.00 to 17.00 Mon to Friday, reporting to the Care and Repair Manager. Although you will be primarily supporting clients within the Helensburgh and Lomond area, you will also be responsible for managing some client projects in other locations of Argyll and Bute, as our business requirements demand. You will visit clients in their own homes, following referral from the Occupational Therapy service, to review and discuss the local authority disability grant application process and other funding applications to allow for essential major adaptation works to be completed. Adaptions include wet floor and level access showering, stairlifts, ramps, toileting, track and hoists and internal wheelchair access. Our CRO's manage the complete project and grant application process on behalf of their clients and therefore prepare all technical drawings, specifications, invite tenders, obtain consents and ensure that all works are completed satisfactorily. Our CRO's also offer advice and assistance to our client group in identifying and repairing building defects.
You will be entirely home-based and will require excellent IT and admin skills and be competent in the use of Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook email. Experience in producing basic technical drawings (preferably using computerised 2D technical drawing packages) is essential.
