Decision Maker: Director of People

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The challenges facing health and social care are well documented with increasing demand due to an aging population. Fragmented services and increased cost of delivering health and social care. Health and Social partners across Doncaster have been considering the transformation needed to completely remodel adult social care, health and wellbeing systems and services and the local Place Plan contains a compelling vision where 'care and support' will be tailored to community strengths to help Doncaster residents to maximise their independence, health and wellbeing.

Decision:

To recruit 2 additional Wellbeing Officers, initially for 1 year to provide the capacity to actively support the development and rollout of the Community Led Suport model.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - Do nothing and manage with existing resources.
Option 2 - Recruit additional temporary Wellbeing officers.
