Reablement - Empowering Independence
Are you passionate about helping people regain their independence and live the life they want? Join our Reablement team and make a real difference every day.
Reablement is a short-term, therapist-led service that supports people to stay independent, avoid unnecessary care, and live well at home. We work closely with individuals, their families, and community partners to build personalised support plans that focus on what matters most to them.
As an Experienced Social Care Practitioner, you'll carry out assessments, develop support plans, and review outcomes in line with the Care Act 2014. You'll work with people to understand their strengths, identify risks, and connect them with local resources. You'll also play a key role in safeguarding, supporting carers, and promoting wellbeing.
You'll need experience in a health or social care setting, strong communication skills, and a good understanding of relevant legislation. A Level 4 qualification in Health and Social Care (or equivalent) is ideal, but we'll support the right candidate to achieve this.
This is a rewarding role where your values, creativity, and commitment to person-centred care will shine. You'll be part of a supportive team that values collaboration, learning, and making a positive impact.
Why us?
Wiltshire Council is a friendly, welcoming place to work, with a 'One Council' ethos. That's why we focus on getting the things that matter to our people right. Explore more benefits here
