  • Support carers in transitioning from voucher schemes to Direct Payment prepaid cards
  • Work collaboratively with Direct Payments and Brokerage Teams
  • Ensure care packages deliver value for money while achieving positive outcomes
  • Operate within budgetary frameworks, policies, and procedures
  • Maintain accurate and timely records on the council's case management system

Requirements
