We are looking for a self-motivated individual to join the Direct Payment Community Support Team.
The role involves managing a caseload, providing ongoing support, advice, guidance, and empowering people who have chosen a Direct Payment to take control of their care and support needs.
This role requires strong interpersonal and organisational skills, good IT skills, and an understanding of systems. You will need to communicate effectively with a range of different people, understand the needs of vulnerable adults, and be committed to the principles of independent living.
You will be required to travel across Kent, supporting people in their own homes, working with them and their representatives, practitioners, and other professionals to review their expenditure and ensure money is spent on their assessed needs.
The successful applicant will be compassionate, understanding, respectful to everyone, flexible, and able to prioritise.
