The Younger Adults Project Team requires skilled and motivated staff to join a hard working, ambitious and friendly team

Working across all Younger Adult client groups, though with a primary focus on learning disability, the team supports people to move out of institutional settings, such as hospital and residential care services and into community services.

Key drivers are the ‘Transforming Care’ programme, the Mental Health Utilisation Review and the Adult Social Care Strategy. There is a focus on assisting people to move into supported tenancies. Nottinghamshire is regarded as one of the national leaders in the field and we have an ambitious programme of planned supported living developments

Working from bases in Arnold and Ollerton, the team offers a county -wide service, which includes care management for people coming out of hospital and joint working with district colleagues on other workstreams.

You will need to be able to develop person centred support packages for people with complex and challenging needs, in conjunction with the individual and their circle of support.

You will need to relate effectively to a large number of other departmental teams and be able to develop productive relationships with support and housing provider partners .
