Careers in Adult Social Care

Nottinghamshire is an exciting place to work and there are lots of opportunities to get involved in new initiatives to improve how we do things. 

Our staff have a comprehensive induction programme, access to training, and other professional development opportunities to enable them to fulfil their role, raise their competency level and progress their career. We offer a wide range of flexible and family-friendly working arrangements designed to create a positive workplace.

Community care officer

Work alongside both social workers and occupational therapists to carry out community care assessments to help individuals maintain their independence.

Occupational therapist

Occupational therapists are responsible for ensuring the appropriate advice, information and support is given to adults and their families, according to their assessed needs.

Social worker

Qualified social workers carry out assessments for adults (aged 18 and over) with a learning disability, physical disability, mental health needs as well as older people.

Reablement support worker

We require flexible staff to support and assist people as they increase their confidence and independence in all aspects of personal care and daily living tasks.

Personal assistant

Personal assistants (PAs) help people who need social care and health or health care support, either because of their age or disability, to enable them to live as independently as possible in their home.

Shared Lives

Shared Lives carers share their home and community life with individuals. This can range from just a few hours a week, to long-term, live-in arrangements.

Home care worker

Most people who are cared for at home are older people, but we also support adults over 18 who have mild learning disabilities, physical disabilities and mental health needs.
