Reablement Care Assistants

City and County Healthcare Group

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

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.

Requirements

A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle is strictly required for travel between clients (some clients live in rural areas and need heroes who can reach them).
Have compassion oozing from every pore
Can communicate like a UN diplomat
Possess problem-solving powers that would impress Mother Teresa
Are committed to respectful, high-quality care that would make your gran proud
