REABLEMENT WORKERS

£11.04 per hour

25 hours per week

North Sefton – Formby, Ainsdale, Birkdale and Southport

Being a Reablement Health Care Worker is so much more rewarding than you think. In this role, you aren’t taking care of people in a healthcare setting – you are helping them to manage their own personal care within their own homes. By focussing on abilities and outcomes, you are assisting them to improve their long-term independence.

The role means you will be supporting individuals who have been discharged from hospital or may have had an illness, crisis, fall at home or change in circumstances in relation to themselves or their carers. Our main aim is to help individuals gain confidence by working alongside them and sharing in their pride as they achieve goals and gain independence.

Joining our team means you will come across individuals from all walks of life, with diverse needs. You will learn new skills and be given an opportunity to gain a recognised qualification. We are looking for people who have a friendly, confident approach and when needed can work under pressure. A driver with own vehicle is essential.

As Sefton’s leading care provider, we currently employ around 400+ staff across the business who pride themselves on delivering high quality social care and support to vulnerable groups within the Sefton area.

An Enhanced DBS Check is required.
