About the Role
This role is perfect if you have caring commitments, retired but aren’t ready to stop working, or wish to contribute to your community. Our reablement service helps individuals regain independence after hospital stays by supporting them to perform daily tasks safely.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Working in partnership with individuals in their own homes.
- Helping them relearn skills (e.g., making tea, cooking, taking medication) to restore confidence and independence.
- Tailoring support to their unique needs and goals.
- Potentially providing overnight or shift-based care, including support across rehabilitation step-up/step-down units (operating within a reablement framework).
- Being a compassionate companion with excellent communication skills—empathy and flexibility are key.
