Role
As a Support Worker (Promoting Independence Assistant) in reablement, you’ll play a key role in helping our customers regain and promote their independence and continue living in their own home after hospital discharge or crisis intervention. This includes helping clients relearn skills in their daily lives, such as personal care (washing, personal hygiene, dressing), support with mobility and preparing meals.
You will provide support in a way that helps people ‘to do’ rather than ‘doing for’ people. Initially hands‑on assistance may be required but Promoting Independence Assistants will enable and encourage the service user to do as much for themselves as possible.
About You
We are looking for people who can demonstrate a can‑do attitude, are proactive, compassionate, and empathetic. You should have a commitment to developing the lives of people and be passionate about providing care and support.
You will need to have good communication skills and excellent organisational skills. It is also important that you have an understanding of maintaining the health and safety, and wellbeing of service users in their own homes.
Travel Required
You will be required to travel around Worcestershire, so a full driving licence and own vehicle are essential.
Legal and Background Checks
This post is exempt under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and as such appointment will be conditional upon the receipt of a satisfactory response to a check of criminal records via the Disclosure and Barring Service before the appointment is confirmed. This will include details of cautions, reprimands, or final warnings, as well as convictions.
Equal Opportunities
We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all Sections of the Community.
