🌟 Support Independence. Build Confidence. Make a Real Impact. 🌟
Now Recruiting: Reablement Care Assistants – Dacorum & East Herts
We’re looking for compassionate, reliable people to join our Welham Green Reablement team as Care Assistants.
🤔 What exactly is Reablement?
Unlike traditional care where you might do things for a client, reablement is all about doing things with them. It is a specialized, short-term, intensive service (typically lasting up to 6 weeks) designed to help individuals recover and relearn daily skills—usually after a hospital stay, a fall, or a period of illness.
Instead of simply making their cup of tea, you will encourage and physically support them to make it themselves, gradually stepping back as their strength and confidence grow. It is highly goal-oriented. You will track their progress, celebrate their daily milestones, and ultimately cheer them on as they regain the ability to live safely and independently without the need for long-term care!
If you want to see the direct, life-changing results of your support, this role is for you.
📍 Work Locations
As part of our Welham Green Reablement team, you will be supporting clients across the following areas:
🚨 Dacorum District (x2 URGENT Vacancies!): Hemel Hempstead, Tring, Berkhamsted, and surrounding villages.
Hertford & Ware: SG12, SG13, SG14
Sawbridgeworth & Surrounds: CM21, CM22
💷 Pay Rates & Mileage
We believe great work deserves great pay. You will be paid per shift at the following rates:
- £14.70 per hour – Monday to Friday
- £16.50 per hour – Saturday & Sunday
🚗 30p per mile paid for your travel!
✨ Guaranteed hours available for the right candidates – giving you the security of regular work!

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
