Recording is an integral and crucial aspect of social care. It is not merely an administrative burden to complete promptly, but it is central to delivering effective and person-centred support. By making meticulous recording a cornerstone of our work, we enhance our practice and the support we provide to individuals.

This role will collaborate with staff across Adult Care & Wellbeing and the broader Portfolio to facilitate the necessary support for practice development in alignment with our vision and strategy.

Specifically, this role will provide support to staff enabling them to utilise the Liquid-Logic Adult System (LAS). This includes developing and delivering regular training programmes to ensure staff proficiency in the system’s usage.

Furthermore, this role will contribute to the development and maintenance of the Adult Social Care practice guidance manual. This entails updating LAS manuals, practice guidance for LAS, and ensuring that relevant guidance is provided in various formats, including written materials and videos, to support staff effectively.

Additionally, this role will support the production of regular and ad hoc internal communications for Adult Social Care staff. These communications serve as a means of keeping staff informed about practice and system changes. This role will also provide support to staff regarding any system or LAS changes through delivering LAS training programs and one-to-one support as necessary.

Furthermore, this role will develop and support quality assurance mechanisms, including audits and surveys, to identify practice quality issues and provide guidance on necessary changes. By analysing information from completed audits, this role will identify relevant actions to support the correct use of the LAS system and dynamically respond to the needs of the services through practice and LAS audits. Support will be provided to staff members both virtually and in person, contingent upon their individual needs and requirements.
