About the Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Adult Social Care Financial Services Team in this varied role which involves visiting and securing clients’ property across the County.

The Local Authority has a responsibility to ensure the short term protection of property of an adult who is being cared for away from home. This can include their home, personal belongings and pets.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed person with good interpersonal skills. The successful applicant will be expected to demonstrate flexibility, an ability for problem solving and to use initiative and work unsupervised.

You will be part of the Client Affairs Team and will work collaboratively with Care Management Teams and outside organisations. You should have experience of dealing with customers with a wide range of abilities.

Ideally you will have experience working in a property maintenance environment and the ability to carry out practical tasks.

Experience of using computerised information systems and the ability to keep clear accurate records are necessary.

Additional Information

This post is subject to an Enhanced DBS check or Enhanced check for Regulated Activity with the Disclosure & Barring Services (previously the Criminal Records Bureau). Please note that we require evidence of an overseas police check if you have lived or worked abroad.

Your starting salary will be pro rata if the above position is part-time or term-time only.

Work Permits: we may be able to obtain a Work Permit for this post but this is subject to meeting the requirements of the UK Border Agency’s Points-based Immigration System.

From 6 April 2011 the Home Office has placed a permanent restriction on the number of migrant workers that all Tier 2 (General) Sponsors can recruit. Due to the restrictions we cannot guarantee that individuals that meet the requirements of the Points-based Immigration System will be issued with clearance to obtain work permits.
