Reablement Care Supervisor - FTC
About The Role
Step into a role where you can truly make a difference every day. As a Reablement Care Supervisor, you’ll lead and inspire a team supporting older people and adults with disabilities to regain independence and thrive. If you’re an organised, compassionate communicator with hands-on experience in care, confident guiding others, and ready to take the next step in your career, this is a fantastic opportunity to grow your leadership skills while helping others reach their full potential.
As a Supervisor, you’ll respond to referrals and advise on eligibility for services. You will also support and assist a group of staff in the undertaking of social care assessments with individuals, and putting in place ongoing support plans to meet individual’s needs.
Our Supervisors assist the registered manager in the training and induction of staff to ensure appropriate competent staff for service. Your management skills will inspire your team and promote a culture of open communication.
You’ll set clear goals for your team, prioritise and direct the workload of the team. You’ll recognise high performance and feedback regularly to your team, whilst listening to and acting on their feedback to you around any concerns they may have. You’ll monitor your team’s performance, identifying training needs and provide coaching in ways which ensure good practices are developed and maintained within the service.
Deputise for the registered manager in their absence, including monitoring the quality of the service and taking actions to rectify operational difficulties.
Ultimately, your role is to lead a team to provide high quality, person-centred care in a way which promotes the dignity, privacy, safety and independence of people using the service.
Shifts: A mixture of late and earlies, between the hours of 7am and 10.30pm with alternate weekend working and bank holidays.
Unfortunately, this role does not meet the legal requirements for visa sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route. We cannot accept individuals on full-time sponsorship who are seeking this as a second job or as their main job, as care is no longer classified as a Skilled Worker occupation.

What will you be doing?
Reablement West provides exceptional levels of Reablement support across West Northants in people’s own homes. We work to provide a fast, responsive service to individuals, who without immediate support, will be at risk of either being admitted to an acute hospital or care home or will be unnecessarily delayed from returning home. Our friendly and committed staff provide the highest level of Reablement support to vulnerable adults in West Northants.
We apply strength-based ways of working to enable people to regain their independence whilst assessing risks associated, which will include arranging equipment, connecting people to community resources and support, and increasing people’s skills and confidence.
