About the Role
We are looking for compassionate and motivated individuals to join our team as Domiciliary Care Assistants, working within our Reablement Team.
This role combines the core responsibilities of domiciliary care with a reablement approach. While you will continue to provide high-quality care and support in clients' own homes, your focus will be on working alongside individuals to help them rebuild confidence, regain independence, and achieve their personal goals. Rather than simply completing tasks for clients, you'll encourage and support them to do as much as they can for themselves, helping to reduce or remove the need for long-term care wherever possible.

Provide personal care and support in clients' own homes
-
Support and encourage clients with personal care routines while promoting independence

Work collaboratively with clients and colleagues to achieve individual goals and outcomes

Maintain accurate care records and follow individual care plans

What We're Looking For
-
A caring, patient, and encouraging approach

Strong communication and interpersonal skills

A rewarding role where you can make a real difference
