Key information

The Reablement Provider Service delivers short term, strength based support focused on rehabilitation and recovery within the person’s own home. Reablement supports people to regain confidence, rebuild daily living skills and maximise their independence following illness, injury or a change in circumstances. Working with people in their own home, the service enables people to achieve outcomes that matter to them and reduces longer term reliance on care and support.

Therefore, this role requires regular evening, weekend and out of hours working. Successful applicants must be able to work the full range of shifts required within the set rota.

About the role

You'll play a pivotal leadership role across our award winning Integrated Crisis Response Service (ICRS) and Reablement Service, helping people receive the right support at the right time to remain independent in their own homes. Leading operational delivery across both services, you'll oversee referrals, manage service capacity and coordinate timely interventions for residents experiencing a social care crisis or requiring reablement support.

Working at the heart of a fast paced and collaborative service, you'll lead, motivate and develop a dedicated team of health and social care professionals. Through coaching, supervision and performance support, you'll help create a positive culture where people can thrive, continuously improve and deliver outstanding outcomes for Leicester residents.
