About the Role: You’ll carry out financial assessments for residents receiving chargeable adult social care services, including both non-residential and care home placements, in line with the Care Act 2014 and Council policies. This will involve gathering and verifying detailed financial information such as income, Capital/savings property, and expenses, calculating accurate charges, and explaining these clearly to service users and their families so they fully understand how their contribution is worked out.

<li>Strong organisational skills to manage a busy and varied caseload effectively</li>
<li>A team player mindset with the ability to work collaboratively with internal colleagues and external partners</li>

As well as the colleagues that you work closely with every day, you’ll also be part of Team Reading, playing your personal part in making Reading a successful and vibrant place. Our values and behaviours guide how we will achieve this: Work Together as one team - work collaboratively, with each other and with our partners, and demonstrate the Team Reading values in everything we do.
