Working as part of a collaborative and forward-thinking team, the postholder will focus on Innovative, person-centred technology solutions that promote independence, improve outcomes, and reduce reliance on traditional care services. The role involves close partnership working alongside direct engagement with customers in their own homes. The team is committed to a "Technology First" approach, driving service improvement, embracing innovation, and ensuring high-quality support and continuous development of both services and team capability. What will I be doing? Undertaking person-centred assessments to identify and recommend appropriate assistive technology solutions that promote independence and safety. Installing, demonstrating, maintaining, and supporting the use of assistive technology in customers' homes, including digital and smart home solutions. Working collaboratively with health, social care, and community partners to embed a "Technology First" approach and support integrated care pathways. Analysing data, trends, and customer feedback to improve services and demonstrate the impact and value of TEC interventions. Delivering training, demonstrations, and engagement activities to colleagues, stakeholders, and customers to promote awareness and effective use of technology. Supporting service development by contributing to projects, testing new technologies, and ensuring compliance with quality standards and organisational policies., Mole Valley District Council is preparing for a major transformation through Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) which will come into effect on 1 April 2027. The aim of LGR is to create a more streamlined, efficient and locally responsive system of government that strengthens public services. You can find out more about the LGR on the Surrey LGR Hub website As a result of these changes, Surrey County Council and the 11 District and Borough Councils - including Mole Valley District Council - will be replaced by two new unitary councils: East Surrey and West Surrey. Mole Valley District Council will become part of the new East Surrey Unitary Council and this authority will be responsible for all services in the eastern part of the county. As we move toward LGR, we want to reassure all applicants that roles linked to Mole Valley District Council will continue beyond the transition period and arrangements are in place to ensure that staff will transfer on existing terms and conditions to the new East Surrey Council.
