Job Title: Adult Social Care Charges Review
Location: FullyRemote - Working from home
Rate of Pay: £650 per day Umbrella or £500 per day PAYE
Working Hours: Full Time - 37 hours
Type: Temporary Role - 13 Weeks
Opus People Solutions are working with Cambridgeshire County Council to recruit for an Adult Social Care Charges Review.
Purpose of the role
To undertake a review of the charging arrangements, set by the Council’s Adult Social Care Charging Policy, within the statutory framework of the Care Act 2014, for residential and non-residential charging.
Duties and responsibilities
This review will include exploring several lines of enquiry on current arrangements which will include which services are chargeable, our application and interpretation of the Care Act 2014, in respect of charging for services, those services which we charge for and how those rates are established, including full cost recovery and benchmarking against other LAs, and current Cambridgeshire County Council’s Adult Social Care Charging Policy.
The report will also consider Disability Related Expenditure and consider comparator Local Authorities application to benchmark against other LA’s and to determine if CCC could apply this differently. The report will also be set in a context of the cost-of-living crisis and explore and showcase all the County Council, District Council and national and third sector organisations offer in support of individuals. The report will make clear recommendations to be considered by the LA on its application of the charging policy and if there are opportunities to support individuals (and cost this), consider equitability or any recommendations made and also make recommendations for maximising LA income opportunities if they are found.
The successful candidate
* Previous local authority experience within charge review
* ASC experience is not essential
* Knowledge of the charging policy
* Confident communicator and leader
* Strong maths skills
