Social Worker - Home First Neighbourhood Team

at  Oxfordshire County Council

Our hospital discharge services are undergoing an exciting transformation to support the residents of Oxfordshire in having their needs assessed and met in their own homes, rather than at a hospital bed side.
Home First D2A, as a new service encourages creative thinking, ideas and innovations to support the development of the service from all our employees.

As part of our team you will:

• Work closely with our reablement providers and the voluntary sector you will support and guide people to regain independence in their own home using a strength-based approach to goal planning during short term intermediate care provision. This intervention will be provided following discharge from hospital or to help prevent admission to hospital.
• Draw upon your skills and knowledge in activity analysis, assistive technology, aids and minor adaptations to support the reduction in formal care wherever possible. Moving and Handling skills will also be required.
