Do you have the skills and experience to help adults live independently, make informed choices, and access the support they need to live good lives?

We are looking for Social Care Assessors to join our Adult Social Care teams. Current opportunities exist within our Working Age Adults Mental Health Service, and our front-end service and we expect further opportunities to become available across Adult Social Care during this recruitment campaign. Suitable candidates may therefore be considered for vacancies arising in a range of teams across the service.

In this rewarding role, you will work directly with adults, their families and carers to understand what matters most to them and identify the support they need to remain safe, well and independent.

You will carry out assessments, develop and review support plans, and work closely with colleagues and partner organisations to ensure people receive the right support at the right time. You will also provide advice and guidance, helping people access local services, community resources and practical support that can make a real difference to their lives.

Working with people who may have complex health, social care or mental health needs, you will help them navigate challenges, achieve their goals and remain as independent as possible. You will need to be confident managing a varied caseload, gathering information, making recommendations and maintaining clear and accurate records.

We are looking for people who are passionate about helping others and making a difference in their community. Whether you already work in health or social care or are considering a career in Adult Social Care for the first time, we want to hear from you.
You will have strong communication and organisational skills, enjoy working with people, and be supported through training and development to succeed in the role.

As a Social Care Assessor at Torbay Council, we are looking for motivated, flexible and collaborative individuals who are committed to making a positive difference to the lives of adults in Torbay.

Do you enjoy working outdoors, helping people and have great communication skills?

Do you have excellent customer service skills and enjoy being active?

If so, Torbay Council are currently recruiting for a Multi Skilled Civil Enforcement Officer.

Torbay is breath-taking, captivating, and welcoming, occupying a prime position on the south coast of Devon. We have real momentum building, fuelled by a shared sense of purpose and ambition which is clearly evident by our recent success in being awarded the ‘Most Improved Council’ at last year’s LGC Awards. We want Torbay and its residents to thrive and are committed to making a difference in our community, delivering high quality services to local people.
 
About the role

Our Multi Skilled Civil Enforcement Officers enforce road traffic orders by issuing Penalty Charge Notices. You will be the eyes and ears of the local community, patrolling areas whilst wearing a body worn video, providing advice to residents and members of the public. You will play a significant role in reducing traffic congestion within Torbay through the enforcement of parking restrictions.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll need to be: 
  • Comfortable and enjoy dealing with members of the public. 
  • Able to handle any conflicts in a calm manner. 
  • Happy to work out-doors in all weathers as this is an active role where you will be walking up to 10 miles per day.
  • Comfortable working alone, as part of a team acting on your own initiative to achieve the standards set out in our operational guidance. 
  • Self-motivated and have a good deal of resilience. 
  • Friendly, polite, and willing to offer support, advice and assistance to colleagues and customers. 
What you’ll bring
  • The ability to work as a team or on your own, patience and tact.
  • An assertive but polite approach.
  • The ability to handle difficult situations in a calm and professional way.
  • An awareness of health and safety.
  • The ability to make decisions.
  • Good numeracy skills and the ability to keep accurate records.
  • PC skills would also be an advantage, as you will be using a handheld device daily.
You’ll be provided with all the uniform and equipment required. No previous experience is required as full training will be given, but previous experience in parking or traffic management, security, community safety, customer service, debt collection or enforcement would be beneficial.

You’ll be working as part of a friendly and supportive team, working an average of 37 hours per week on a rolling rota covering shifts between 7am and 10pm seven days a week. We aim to balance your needs and that of our service, so flexibility is required.

What we give in return

We’ll reward you with competitive pay, a £500 ‘Golden Hello’ payment, a £2,000 ‘Retention’ payment paid annually, and £500 ‘Refer a Friend’ payments. We also offer training and development opportunities which include Conflict Management training. The £500 'Golden Hello' payment is paid on completion of the successful probationary period, and a £1,000 Retention bonus is paid every 6 months after the first 12 months within the role. 

In addition to the advertised, salary enhancements are paid for working after 8pm, and on Sundays and Bank Holidays. This equates to around £2,500 per year. 

Torbay Council offers standard benefits including 26 days annual leave, a pension scheme, and some not so standard benefits as part of our employee benefits scheme – so if you would like to hop on a new bike (cycle to work scheme) or enjoy retail shopping, you can access discounts via My Benefits at Vivup!
