Further Information
Are you a care assistant or support worker looking for something slightly different?

Or perhaps you have other care related experience, whether that be professionally or personally?

Maybe you’re new to the care industry but have been looking for a role where you will receive training to get your skills and knowledge up to scratch? Fully paid and as part of your induction.

Good news! Our Reablement team are looking for a new Reablement Support Worker!

Our RSWs support our clients in the community with everyday tasks such as food and meal preparation, toileting support, catheter care, personal care and other daily activities. Due to this you MUST hold a UK driving license and have access to a car!

To be a Reablement super hero, there are some super powers we need you to already have that we can’t teach..

Confidence – You must be confident in your work. To be able to say no, make decisions and remember you are the professional! You will be going into vulnerable individuals homes.

Good communication – You will be dealing with a range of individuals including family members, doctors and other professionals.

A keen eye for detail – There will be goal plans, instructions and medication. All of which need to be followed with accuracy!

Passion – How can you help motivate and care for others if actually your passion is in accounting?

A real can do attitude and motivational! – I mean, when Mary is having a bad day and tells you ‘I CANT get out of my chair today’, yet her goal is to do this every day, we need a ‘Yes you can Mary’ type of person. Not a ‘Ok, probably easier if you don’t’ type of person!

So, this is the sort of person we are looking for. Does it sound like you?
If so, please don’t hesitate to apply!

Hours - 
7am-3pm

You will be working on a 2 week rolling rota -
Week 1 : Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday
Week 2 : Thursday and Friday
