We are investing in our Adults social care services to support our priorities and in preparation for new responsibilities under the Care Act which start to become effective from April 2015.

To help us develop and grow our service, we are looking to recruit motivated and experienced individuals to a number of social care roles. We are also willing to consider enthusiastic newly qualified applicants, who are keen to learn and wish to start their career in West Sussex.

Acting as Lead Professional, you will take a pro-active role in delivering a service to adults with social care needs. You will be responsible for developing and improving best practice, ensuring that you focus on outcomes to improve the well-being of your customers.

Dealing with assessments, planning, implementation and reviews and promoting a person-centred approach, you will take the lead on complex cases, providing supervision, expertise and guidance to colleagues.

In addition to your community role you will be required to be part of the staff rota for the countywide team who screen and triage referrals for adults to determine customer eligibility for an adult service.

If you think you have the right values for our organisation, you will be supported by a programme of continuous training and development including supervision and management support to help you fulfil the role. We also offer an attractive benefits package including a childcare voucher scheme, flexible working and Local Government Pension Scheme.
