The West Reablement Service are looking for organised and hardworking people to join us as a Reablement Support Workers. Working as part of our team and delivering services across West Cumbria, this is an opportunity to directly support 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.
The Role
As a Reablement Support worker, you will work with those who have identified needs, ensuring their goals are met in accordance with their reablement plan. You will also, through spending time with them, highlight and detect any further outcomes they may need, always working towards improving their quality of life and promoting independence.
We encourage our team members to take a holistic approach to support, utilising a person centred and strengths based approach, and you will need to ensure clear and timely communication with the Reablement Review Officers.
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 people who have experience of working in a person centred manner and can deliver exceptional service. The ideal candidate 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 maintained at all times.
QCF Level 3 qualification is desirable, but we can support candidates to achieve this within 12 months of appointment into the post.
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.
Appointment to this post is subject to enhanced vetting checks
