About the role

Based at Care and Repair North East Wales that will be the employer, the post is responsible for providing a dedicated and specialist casework service for the Managing Better Service. The service is a partnership between Care & Repair, Action on Hearing Loss Cymru and RNIB Cymru, Alzheimer’s Society and Stroke Association. Funded through Welsh Government grant funding stream (Sustainable Social Services, Third Sector Grant).

The purpose of the post is to work proactively with frail older people with sensory loss and/or cognitive impairments due to dementia and/or stroke in both hospital and community settings, to improve their ability to live as independently as possible, for as long as possible in their own homes. This will be achieved by working within the existing local processes and pathways for health and social care and identifying older people in priority need, providing individual clients with a coherent person-centred approach in which their specific needs are seamlessly considered, advocated for, recognised, and responded to.

The principal focus of the service is to provide bespoke home improvements that support independence and safety, assess for suitable new technology and access to appropriate services. Key to the approach is identifying with health and social care partners those in critical need, ensuring effective service access for beneficiaries and tailoring individual interventions, working with a wide range of health, housing and social care professionals and accessing various grants and financial support that will address individual client needs.
