You'll support people who are medically fit to leave hospital, helping them to regain their confidence, strength and independence through tailored rehabilitation, reablement and short-term interventions.

You'll also have the opportunity to support people who may otherwise be admitted to hospital, providing timely assessment and intervention that enables them to return home safely.
