Temporary agency role working with Hoople Recruitment
£20 per hour
As a Financial Assessment Officer under the Care Act, the primary responsibility is to conduct thorough financial assessments of individuals requiring social care support for both residential and non-residential services.
The role plays a critical part in determining the financial contributions individuals need to make towards their care services. This position requires a high level of attention to detail, empathy, and strong analytical skills to ensure fair and accurate assessments in line with legislative guidelines.
The Financial Assessment Officers perform detailed financial assessments of individuals' income, savings, assets, and liabilities to determine their eligibility for financial support for Residential Care, Domiciliary Care and Community support under the Care Act and Herefordshire Council's Care and Support Charging Policy. They also aim to maximise the take-up of benefit entitlements, and provide access to sources of independent financial information and advice for individuals being financially assessed or with on-going care and support needs.
