Are you looking for an exciting opportunity, to be a part of a brand-new forward thinking, bespoke Reablement and extra care service in South Tyneside.

Have you previously worked as a Reablement Worker or Support Worker, with experience of supporting people to regain their independence following a stay in hospital?

We are looking for an experienced Reablement or Support Worker, who are passionate about person centred support with a dynamic innovative approach to join our new team at Borrowdale House.

Borrowdale House is a brand new, bespoke Rehabilitation and Extra Care service in South Tyneside.

**About the Role**:
As a Reablement Worker you will work closely with our Therapy and Support Leads, Registered Manager, and other professionals to ensure a high level of person-centred care is delivered using a therapy led, individualised reablement care and support plan and risk assessments.

You will be responsible for facilitating admissions to the service, which will include liaising with families and other agencies to ensure a smooth transition to Borrowdale House.

Administration of medication according to policies and procedures, low level health care tasks and implementation of therapy guidance will be required, ensuring best practices are always applied and in the best interests of the person you are supporting.

The role will help challenge the status quo and help lead change to ensure Adults within South Tyneside are supported to Live Better Lives.

**About You**:
You will have experience of working in a health and social care environment, as a reablement or support worker. With excellent coordination and communication skills, be able to deliver personalised outcome based reablement plans and be able to develop and maintain effective relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.

You will need the confidence and ability to demonstrate sound professional judgements, when making decisions and have the ability to support real change.

**About Us**:
Adult Social Care is changing in South Tyneside. We are a forward-thinking Council that is developing innovative approaches to meet our challenges. Focusing on **People, Place and Partnerships**, this is a great time to join us. With our new Council Leadership, and a recent service review, we are developing a new 5-year Vision and Strategy for Adult Social Care to help support the next stage of our journey. Working closely with all our partners our vision for the future is to see every person in South Tyneside with care and support needs “Living Better Lives”, to fully utilise their strengths and assets, to remain safe and well; in the neighbourhoods and communities they call home. We want to work with all our partners to ensure the person only need tell their story once and that they have equal voice in co-ordinating their care and support. We understand promoting the importance of social justice and inclusion, respecting people’s rights, citizenship and participation.

Joining us at this time will ensure you are at the forefront of helping to develop and embed co-production and co-delivery, delivering new models of working through our Adult Social Care framework and contributing to our ambitious plans to fully embed our strengths-based practice, improve services and deliver better outcomes for the people of South Tyneside. We remain fully committed to supporting our staff to grow and develop, and we will provide you with the opportunity to use your skills and learn new ones. Through the development of our new Values and Behaviour Framework we will fully support staff to become Curious, Accountable, Responsive and Empowered (CARE).

South Tyneside Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment and an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) disclosure will be sought along with other relevant pre-employment checks.

For those posts where there is a requirement to either work in or enter a Care Quality Commission Regulated Care Home (CQC) it would be preferred but optional, that you have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (unless medical exempt) as a condition of employment.
