About the role

Age UK Nottingham and Nottinghamshire operates a range of community-based support services for older and vulnerable people in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. 

This is a peripatetic role, providing a valuable flexible resource to meet the changing needs of the organisation. You may be required to cover for a staffing shortfall or be involved in the set up and delivery of new services. You will be expected to work in the community, across Nottingham City, and various Nottinghamshire districts.

Primarily, you will carry out support work across different services including short-term community support services operated in Nottingham City (Wellbeing at Home) and mid and south Nottinghamshire (Connect), and The Sybil Levin Day Service, a specialist day service supporting people with dementia and their carers using the SPECAL method.  

About you

Self-motivation, a flexible approach and good organisation skills are key as you will work across different services, sometimes at short notice, and manage a busy caseload. Experience of providing support to vulnerable people in the community is essential, as is the ability to build relationships with people from a range of different backgrounds and with differing support needs.
