·  Undertake activities with individuals and/or families which motivate them to change lifestyles and behaviours and engage with services, promote self-confidence, self-awareness and self-management which leads to a reduction in dependency on services

·  Facilitate and support, where appropriate and under supervision, access to relevant specialist services

·  Ensure interventions planned can be counted, evidenced and meet minimum set standards to meet operational targets and the identified objectives agreed for individuals and households

·  Work within communities from Locality Hubs to provide a range of support services and to engage individuals in the Early Help offer, as well as providing 1:1 packages of support within the home where needed

·  As part of a range of support, workers will be required to complete Health Checks and Stop Smoking Programmes
