Job summary
Are you passionate about helping people regain their independence and achieve the things that matter to them? We are looking for an Enabler to join our Intermediate Care and Reablement Service, working as part of a multidisciplinary team to support people within the community. Rather than simply doing things for people, reablement is about working with them. You will encourage, motivate and support service users to rebuild their confidence and abilities, following individual care and reablement plans designed to help them become as independent as possible. No two visits will be exactly the same. You may be helping someone safely mobilise around their home, supporting them with washing and dressing, encouraging them with everyday activities, assisting with their dietary needs or supporting them to work towards rehabilitation goals set by the therapy team. You will build positive relationships with service users and their families while working closely with therapists, clinicians, social care colleagues and other members of the multidisciplinary team.

Main duties of the job
As an Enabler, you will support service users to achieve their individual care and reablement goals. You will encourage and motivate people to regain and maintain their independence, support them with personal care, safe mobility, transfers, and activities of daily living. You will deliver agreed therapy and rehabilitation activities in line with individual plans, support users with dietary needs, and administer medication per procedures. Observing service users for changes, escalating concerns to clinicians, building supportive relations with families, and collaborating with therapists are key tasks. You will maintain accurate records of care, interventions, progress, and outcomes.

About us
