The Reablement Service provides short term care, usually delivered in the person's own home and is offered to people with disabilities and those who are recovering from an illness or injury and have the potential for significant improvement. The purpose of Reablement is to help people who have experienced deterioration in their health or have increased support needs, to relearn skills required to keep them safe and independent at home.

We provide a bridging service which provides care and support to people who are waiting for a long-term package of care to be agreed or to bridge a period of time before a package of care can restart.

Our resettlement service provides care and support for a short period of time to settle people back into their previous daily routine and gives extra support with confidence building and time to readjust after a period of time away from home.

We also provide emergency care and support response to people who need extra support whilst further assessments can be completed.

The position will help you gain invaluable skills to deliver person centred care at every opportunity.

With a starting salary of £23,500 to £23.893 (FTE), enhancements for weekend and bank holiday working, plus overtime opportunities, why wouldn't you want to choose a career in care?
