About the role
We have an exciting opportunity for an empathetic, and caring individual to provide a Residents’ Representative Service to residents and their relatives in Nottingham City residential and nursing homes for those 18 and over, as well as for a Patients’ Representative working across Queen’s Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital with older and vulnerable people.
Do you have the skills to represent, advocate and support people and their families, enabling them to make informed decisions around a wide variety of issues? Would you like a busy and diverse role which sees you working in care homes or hospitals, liaising with statutory and 3rd party organisations to help older and vulnerable people to achieve their desired outcomes and get their voices heard? If so, we’d like to hear from you!
About you
Candidates should have a good understanding of the needs and concerns of older and/or vulnerable people. You will be self-motivated, yet a team player, with excellent communication, organisational and strong IT skills, and be committed to the values of Age UK Notts. Experience of providing advocacy is not essential as full training will be given.
Applicants must hold a full driving licence and have access to a car for the care home position.
*Age UK Notts is committed to making reasonable adjustments, so whilst this job requires the jobholder to drive, your application will still be considered if you are unable to drive due to a disability.
As an employee of Age UK Nottingham & Nottinghamshire you will be eligible for our attractive package which includes 24 days annual leave (Pro Rata), public holidays, flexible working and a 4% employer contribution pension (in line with auto-enrolment rules).
