• Assist with medication routines in accordance with individual care plans.
• Encourage mobility, independence and the development of daily living skills.
• Help individuals rebuild confidence following illness, injury or hospital discharge.
• Support service users to achieve agreed goals and maximise their independence.
• Work closely with occupational therapists, nurses, social workers and other healthcare professionals.
• Monitor progress and report any changes in an individual's needs or wellbeing.
• Promote dignity, choice, respect and independence at all times.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a wider care team.
• Flexibility to work a rolling shift pattern, including every other weekend.
• A reliable, professional attitude and a commitment to delivering high-quality care.
• Willingness to attend a face-to-face interview and complete all necessary safer recruitment and pre-employment checks.

Previous experience in care, community support, domiciliary care or reablement would be advantageous.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Two positions available offering either 21 or 35 hours per week.
• Rewarding, community-based work supporting people in their own homes.
• The opportunity to make a genuine difference to people's recovery and independence.
