Job description

As a result of continued expansion in the reablement service, we are seeking an Assistant Team Manager to work alongside our existing leadership structure. This role is about leadership, collaboration, and making a real difference!

We're looking for a confident and passionate leader to help shape our Reablement service in Wiltshire.

Reablement is a short-term service that helps people stay independent. Led by therapists, it offers practical support, advice, and equipment to help individuals reach their goals using their own strengths and community resources.

As the Assistant Team Manager, you will guide a skilled team of therapists and social care practitioners, designing creative support plans, supporting people following their discharge from hospital to reorientate to their home environment and routines, which may include new adjustments, connecting people with their communities, and ensuring services are delivered safely, effectively, and in line with professional standards.

Supporting the Team Manager, you will oversee service delivery, provide support in response to queries including case scenarios, supervise staff, and promote integrated working with health partners, voluntary groups, and local services. You will also lead on quality assurance and staff development, including induction processes and performance management.
