Occupational Therapist/Physiotherapist - Reablement Team Hackney, London | £34.34 per hour
Are you an experienced Occupational Therapist/Physio with a passion for helping people regain their independence? Join an exciting new Reablement at Home pilot service with the London Borough of Hackney and play a key role in transforming adult social care.
This innovative therapy-led service is designed to support adults in achieving person-centred goals within their own homes, promoting independence, reducing reliance on long-term care, and facilitating safe, effective hospital discharges.
The Role
As an Occupational Therapist, you will be responsible for delivering high-quality, strengths-based reablement interventions that empower individuals to regain confidence and independence in daily living. Working closely with the Integrated Discharge Service, you will assess, monitor, and review therapy-led reablement programmes, ensuring service users achieve agreed outcomes within a short-term intervention, typically lasting up to six weeks. You will be based at the Hackney Service Centre, with regular home visits across the borough.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and implement person-centred Reablement Therapy Plans.
- Identify meaningful goals and outcomes that maximise independence.
- Monitor progress and review therapy interventions throughout the reablement period.
- Work collaboratively with Reablement Support Workers, Occupational Therapy Assistants, Senior Practitioners and Adult Social Care teams.
- Provide professional advice and guidance to reablement providers.
- Promote a "doing with" rather than "doing for" approach, encouraging service users to regain everyday living skills.
- Support safe hospital discharge and prevent unnecessary long-term care packages.
- Complete accurate documentation and contribute to outcome-focused reviews.

- Improve quality of life through strengths-based interventions.
- Encourage participation in community resources and activities.
