Care Manager

Role Description:
This is an exciting time to work in Surrey, as self-directed care creates more choice for service users, and you\‘ll have the chance to work with integrated teams. You\’ll carry out assessments, arrange and review care in the community or in a residential or nursing home, and have regular contact with colleagues from other professions. But the most vital and rewarding part of the role is in safeguarding vulnerable adults, and you\’ll be offered every support and guidance in doing this.

You must be a qualified social worker, or a qualified nurse or occupational therapist looking for a new challenge. We would welcome applications from newly qualified professionals and you will be given lots of support and encouragement. You should have some experience of working in a community setting, be familiar with the social care legislative framework, and be able to act as an advocate. You should be able to work well as part of a team, but also work well independently.

An enhanced Criminal Records Bureau disclosure and barred adults list check will be required for this role.

Surrey County Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
