Crynodeb

Cheshire East Council is looking for an enthusiastic and committed individual to join our community adult social care teams as a Local Area Coordinator (LAC).

You will have a varied caseload supporting adults with care and support needs and their care. You will join a multi-disciplinary team of social workers, social care assessors, occupational therapists, and local area coordinators, with a mixture of home and office-based working. In this role you will be linking individuals in with third sector and community resources. You will receive support and training to help with your professional development.

We have a part time vacancy in the Congleton and Holmes Chapel team, but you will potentially be working across the south of the Cheshire East footprint.
The LAC will support community adult social care teams by identifying resources, groups, services, and organisations within the local area that will benefit adults and young people in transition who have eligible care and support needs under the Care Act. The LAC will coordinate information on available community support within the Cheshire East Council (CEC) adult social care team areas. A key role is to enable and support adults with eligible care and support needs, to access existing community support rather than to rely on funded CEC Services. A further key role is to identify gaps in community support, to inform Strategic Commissioning and liaise with Health and Wellbeing to stimulate the development of community resources to meet the identified need. Direct work with individual customers and their families on the LAC’s caseload will be required.
The postholder will also be required to carry out the full range of duties expected of a Social Care Assessor in relation to the individuals and their carers on their caseload.

You will have experience of working with vulnerable people and their carers in a Social Care or Health setting. Good communication skills are essential and the ability to manage a caseload.

Within the framework of legislation, agreed Council Policies and Procedures, to work with and on behalf of vulnerable people by completing the required needs-based assessments, arranging a full range of services and care managing a case load of clients and carers.
