Do you want to make a real difference to vulnerable adults’ lives? Join us in a role where every visit has purpose and promotes dignity and independence.
As a Client Affairs Visiting Officer, you will support adults who receive care through Adult Social Care and lack the capacity to manage their own finances.

You’ll complete detailed reports, support the Appointeeship & Deputyship Team, and work closely with the Protection of Property team.
Most travel is within East Sussex, but occasional travel outside the county may be required.
