Independent Living Officer

  • Lancaster
  • Lancaster City Council

The post holder will be responsible for the day to day running of a City Council Independent Living scheme in the Lancaster and Morecambe district.

All of our properties in Independent Living are supported by a Lifeline service for extra reassurance 24 hours a day.

You must be capable of demonstrating a sincere commitment to the support of older adults, possess good organisational and social skills and be of a calm, patient disposition with the ability to respond quickly and efficiently in an emergency situation, whilst under pressure.

You will need to have both good written and verbal communication skills and be able to work well with other professionals and all members of the public. You should be proficient in working with technology and IT.

An understanding of community care and the ability to deal with any situation, as and when it arises, in an efficient and effective way, is essential.

An understanding of housing issues and welfare benefits would be an advantage.

When required, you may be expected to provide cover for any of our other Lancaster City Council independent living schemes within the District.

A full current UK driving licence is essential, as the post holder will be required to provide cover across the district. As a result, you will be required to sign up to the authorised external DVLA driving licence validation organisation that we use to manage and monitor our employees driving licence data.

It is a requirement of this job to provide cover at the allocated Independent Living scheme, Monday to Friday 9am-5pm.

Lancaster City Council has unanimously declared a climate emergency and will therefore work towards reducing carbon emissions to net-zero by 2030. As part of this role, you will be expected to participate and work towards reducing both carbon emissions and the impacts of climate change.

We are a disability confident committed employer.
