Overview
37 hours per week.
This is an exciting opportunity to join our Integrated Community Network Teams. We work alongside both older and younger adults, who may experience long term challenges around their physical and mental health. Within the networks, we work closely with our health colleagues to enable a holistic assessment to take place, which in turn enables us to work in partnership to meet personal outcomes. We strive to enable the people of Bridgend to live their lives as they wish to and ensure voice, choice, independence, and control.
We follow a Strengths-Based Outcome-Focused model of practice. Maximising an individual's emotional wellbeing is seen as key in effective practice in this area. We incorporate the importance of supporting family and carers into our assessment framework to achieve positive outcomes and encourage wider inclusion in the local community.
We are keen to continue to develop innovative approaches to Adult Social Care and Integrated Working. We work closely with GPs and other partners, including our care home providers, to prevent unnecessary admissions to hospital and care homes whilst maximising independence and choice. The continued development of this dynamic service model will require work on widening partnership opportunities with statutory partners, the third sector and the community of Bridgend.
