Job description

Join our dedicated Community Response Team as a Reablement Team Leader and make a positive difference in your local community.

As a Reablement Team Leader working in the community, from our offices and from home, you’ll support adults across Hampshire who need extra care and assistance. Our Community Response Service focuses on short-term assessment and reablement for those with various short and long-term health conditions and frailties, including those transitioning from hospital care. We are dedicated to promoting independence and enhancing the quality of life for our service users, helping them stay at home longer.

Key Responsibilities:

• Triage and Assessment: Collaborate with health colleagues to receive and assess referrals, using a strengths-based approach to identify needs and set reablement goals.
• Coordination and Care: Coordinate care delivery to promote service users’ daily living skills and independence, working with partners such as, the Frailty Support Service and local hospitals.
• Team Leadership: Oversee a team of Community Reablement Assistants, providing line management, supervision, motivation, coaching, and ensuring high-quality service delivery.

You’ll need:

• Relevant experience: With significant experience in a social or health care setting, you’ll have a proven track record of successfully leading, motivating and developing others.
• Knowledge: A good understanding of the needs of the service users and the impact of this on individuals, their carers and relatives. You’ll know what person-centred care and best practice is and how to deliver social care reablement.
• Relationship management skills: Fantastic communication and interpersonal skills which are vital for building and maintaining relationships with a diverse range of people.
