We are looking to appoint a Sheltered Housing Support Officer to our Independent Living Team. South Derbyshire District Council has a housing stock of circa 3000 properties of which a third are currently designated as sheltered. We are aiming for excellence and invite you to be integral to that process. The Independent Living Service provides help and assistance around the clock, 365 days of the year to customers who live independently in their own homes. The Independent living service is in essence two teams. At the Careline Control Centre a team of experienced operators provide a 24-hour monitoring and emergency call service for vulnerable adults who live within the district. This team works closely with the Careline Support Co-ordinators Team who provide a regular routine visiting service and a 24-hour emergency response service throughout the district.

As a Sheltered Housing Support Officer, you will be guaranteed a minimum of 20 hours per week providing cover for members of either the Careline or Careline Support Co-ordinator teams. Due to the nature of the service, you may be required to work nights, weekends and other unsociable hours.

You will need excellent communication skills and the ability to remain calm under pressure. You will need to be flexible and willing to step in to cover your colleagues when on holiday or sick leave. You will be required to be fully mobile, visiting residents across the district so your own car is essential.
