The Oldham Health and Social Care economy has signed up to a new and ambitious vision for care which looks to ‘see the greatest and fastest possible improvement in the health and wellbeing of the Borough’s residents by 2020’.

The vision will be achieved through delivery of a health and social care system that is built upon sustainable financial and person-focussed models, with integration at the heart of health and social care service delivery. 

To support the vision we have brought together a range of partners including for example Adult Social Care, Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust, Northern Care Alliance, MioCare, primary care and the Oldham Clinical Commissioning Group to create a new integrated system approach– Oldham Cares.Oldham Cares is the new way health and social care services will be delivered. It brings together social, health and voluntary organisations to share knowledge, resources and skills to deliver a better health and social care experience for our residents. 

At Oldham Cares we are focussed on achieving positive outcomes for people with health and social care needs including:
  • Supporting people to be more in control of their lives
  • Having a health and social care system that is geared towards wellbeing and the prevention of ill health
  • Providing access to health services at home and in the community
  • Providing social care that works with health and voluntary services to support people to look after themselves and each other.

These are exciting times as we design an integrated approach that is seamless and mapped around people.  If you are looking for a new challenge, are motivated, person-focussed and passionate about shaping the future of health and social care services, Oldham Cares is the organisation for you.

A multi-agency health and social care service, we deliver outcomes to adults with learning disabilities and/or autism across a variety of professions. Working with adults with very complex needs, the role is vital to the social care statutory functions of the wider service.  

You will be qualified to degree level, have an appropriate post qualifying award such as consolidation module, practice educator stage 1 and/or 2, Best interest Assessor or equivalent with significant experience and be HCPC registered.

Your main duties will be:
  • to provide an assessment, support planning and review service, underpinned by professional knowledge and legislation in order to ensure that significantly complex individuals are supported appropriately including undertaking mental capacity assessments and best interest processes: this includes Court of Protection and Deprivation of Liberty work, 
  • Transforming Care/ complex hospital discharges 
  • Vulnerable adults are safeguarded and are supported to live well with risk
  • Strength based conversations that result in person-centred outcomes and support requirements are identified
  • People are encouraged and enabled to live healthy and independent lives.

These are times of unprecedented and exciting changes in Oldham and as such we require people who are resilient, thrive under pressure and are driven to deliver the best outcomes for residents of Oldham.  In return you will receive a competitive salary, access to staff benefits and discounts (with lots of local and national companies) and comprehensive development opportunities.  You will receive high levels of support through professional supervision.
