The successful applicant will be a skilled communicator with excellent IT and organisational skills.  The ability to gain and maintain carers’ confidence is essential, as is an understanding of carers’ needs and rights.   You will work across a range of community settings, with office space being provided in Eastbourne, and the post holder’s main community duties taking place within the Hastings and Rother CCG area, however, work anywhere within East Sussex may be required, so being a car driver is essential.
