Rehabilitation Officer - Home First Community Support
We have an exciting opportunity to join our busy regulated Home First Community Support service as a Rehabilitation Officer. Our aim is to ensure that a person can remain at home and feel confident and is safe to live as independently as possible following a period of illness or injury. We work in partnership with other social care and health professionals to prevent care needs from escalating and also work to prevent avoidable admissions and facilitate appropriate early discharge from hospital.
Our Rehabilitation service ‘helps people do things for themselves’ rather than ‘doing it for them’ through short term intensive support programmes that enables people to optimise their daily living skills and well being. The role will involve working with individuals and their circle of support to regain their confidence and move forward with their life - based on their abilities and strengths and those of their family and community.
Home First Community Support is also the Local Authority's crisis out of hours provider ensuring the safety and well being of vulnerable adults with social care needs across the whole of North Lincolnshire 365/24/7. You will therefore, under the direction of the senior on duty, be required to be responsive to such crisis intervention and work with the service user and their circle of support to make safe and enable individuals to subsequently regain control of their lives.
