Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will conduct annual carers assessments to identify the needs of informal carers and support them in achieving their outcomes. You will work within a multi-disciplinary team to ensure residents receive the necessary care and support to live independently.
You should have experience supporting adults in a care, housing, or community setting and possess strong communication and organizational skills. A formal social work qualification is not required, but a compassionate and practical approach to working with vulnerable people is essential.
At Kensington and Chelsea, we’re all in – making sure every resident gets the care, support and respect they need to live as independently as possible. As an Independent Living Assessor, undertaking Carers Assessments you’ll be a key part of that mission, helping adults stay safe, supported and confident in their day-to-day lives.
You’ll be part of our experienced Review Team, your working hours will be 28 per week over 4 days. You will be required to spend 2 days in the office per week undertaking annual Carers Assessments for informal carers. You will be required to complete 8-10 carers assessment per week.

You’ll have experience supporting adults in a care, housing or community setting — perhaps as a support worker, carer or housing officer. You’ll understand the realities of working with vulnerable people and bring a calm, practical and compassionate approach to your work.
You’ll also need to be organised, confident working independently and skilled at juggling priorities. Good IT skills are essential, along with strong communication — especially when working with adults from a wide range of cultures, languages and backgrounds.
You don’t need a formal social work qualification to succeed in this role. What matters most is your ability to listen, your understanding of what good care looks like and your commitment to helping people live well.
At RBKC, we’re all in – investing in our people, our communities and our future.
You’ll be joining a warm, welcoming and long-established team, with colleagues who bring years of knowledge and experience to share. There’s a strong sense of purpose here — and a belief that small actions, done well, can make a big difference.
You’ll have a full induction, tailored development plan and access to training to build your confidence in the role. Whether you’re already experienced or stepping into something new, we’ll support your growth every step of the way.
Kensington and Chelsea is home to diverse communities, thriving businesses and unique local places. Everything we do is focused on supporting our residents, strengthening our approach and creating a fairer borough.
As a competent and caring Council, we take pride in our work every day, ensuring our services are delivered with care and competence. We listen to our residents, act with integrity and work together to build a borough that is greener, safer and fairer for all.
You’ll be out in the community, face to face with residents, working together to find the right support at the right time. It’s about more than ticking boxes, it’s about making sure every individual feels seen, heard and supported.
Working Style:
You’ll be based in the Borough for two days a week, playing a key role in serving the local community. Whether you’re working on the frontline or behind the scenes, you’ll be part of a dedicated team making a real difference to residents’ lives.
Interview Details:
Interviews will take place W/C 24th August 2026
