The Reablement Service are looking for experienced and engaging people to join our team as Reablement Review Officers. This is an opportunity to directly enhance and improve the well-being of individuals in local communities.
About Us
The Reablement Service provide short term support for adults with wide ranging needs, enabling them to live as independently as possible, whilst also ensuring their safety and well-being. We are committed to working with them to achieve person centred outcomes, helping them to remain in their own homes within their local communities.
Working with us, you will meet a diverse range of people, and you will build strong working relationships within health services, social care professionals, and the Integrated Care Communities across South Cumbria.
The Role
You will be the first point of contact for those who wish to access to the Reablement Service; visiting people to carry out an initial assessment with them, possibly in their home environment or in a hospital setting. You will work with them taking a holistic approach to support planning, utilising a person centred and strengths-based approach. You will discuss and identify the outcomes they would like to achieve during their reablement episode and through regular assessment and review, you will monitor progress and make sure the outcomes remain achievable. Within your role, you will work closely with the support worker teams, occupational therapists and partner agencies to ensure the best possible outcome for the individual.
Each day and case will vary; you may support individuals to regain skills that they were able to carry out prior to referral, you may support people to regain their confidence, or your work may even involve supporting an adult who needs assistance to access facilities within their local community.
Who we are looking for:
We are looking for people who have experience of working in a person-centred manner and can deliver exceptional service. The ideal candidates will have a good knowledge of the Reablement service and will be able to treat each person as an individual, working with them to ensure their safety and dignity are always maintained.
Experience in a health or care setting is not a requirement, but we are looking for people who have knowledge of assessments, reviews, and identifying outcomes for those who need support.
This role requires a holistic approach, and the right candidates will work with empathy and consideration for our Service Users.
This role requires an enhanced DBS check with an Adults Barred List check. Please note this role involves working in regulated activity with Adults.
