Job responsibilities

Job Context

• The Care Act was the most significant change in social care legislation in 70 years. The Act introduced a number of new duties for local authorities, including the wellbeing principles and statutory responsibilities to carers and safeguarding adults at risk of harm or neglect. The Act also introduced a new national eligibility criterion for adult social care. The Act represents a shift in social care practice to encompass all professions within social care and emphasises personalisation in social work practice, where assessment is considered an intervention and where social work practice should take account of the individual strengths of the person, their family and friends and wider community.
• The new Adult Social Care Assurance Framework will measure the quality and effectiveness of adult social care services within the Local Authority. There will be a significant focus on developing staff awareness of performance, quality, the experience and outcomes for people using social care services and continuous assessment of local authorities against nationally agreed Key Lines of Enquiry.
• You will work as part of the team under the Practice Lead, Portfolio Lead or Countywide Group Manager in a specific locality or team. The focus of the Advanced Practitioner in the team is to implement the requirements of the Care Act with a focus on quality, performance, practice and outcomes for people.
