Bank Reablement Workers

The Council is calling on people to join a bank workforce for its Reablement team to support others in the local community.

As the winter months approach, it is important people receive the care and support they need, and this bank workforce will be called on to help with any pressures in both the Reablement team and other services it supports outside the Council.

By joining the Reablement team, people won’t just be joining the Council, but also a community team that supports others to enjoy full and independent lives.

Reablement workers come from all walks of life, but what they all have in common is the right values, as they’re adaptable, friendly, respectful and caring.

No matter where people live in west Cheshire or surrounding areas, there are plenty of opportunities across the borough and they’ll be allocated work as near to them as possible.

There are several different positions available that are flexible with what people can offer, whether they’re looking for part-time work to support others around their other commitments or longer hours as a more permanent position.
