Join our team specialising in Reablement, a short-term service led by therapists focused on empowering individuals to be as independent as possible. We provide information, equipment, advice, and targeted help from a support team.

Our approach is centred on what people can do, not what they can't. Collaborating with community partners, we reconnect individuals to meaningful activities, significantly enhancing well-being and reducing loneliness.

Working alongside dedicated Occupational Therapists, you will undertake assessments, co-deliver customer Reablement plans, and provide equipment, guidance, and advice .

We're on the lookout for individuals with a caring attitude, a friendly and professional approach, and the ability to work effectively with diverse customers to help them reach their goals.
