The Countywide Community Reablement Team supports people over the age of 18 in their own homes, for up to a few weeks, working across the whole of Nottinghamshire County. We provide a person‑centred approach to assist people to regain independence, increase confidence and learn new skills in all aspects of personal care and daily living.

The service is provided 365 days a year from 7am to 10pm and operates on a 4 days on / 4 days off rolling shift pattern. This includes regular weekends, days, evenings, Bank Holidays and split‑shift working patterns, depending on contracted hours to meet the needs of the business.

We are looking to recruit full and part‑time workers countywide, to work a variety of shifts between 7am and 10pm. Hours are negotiable with morning and evening work available. We offer regular structured hours to support a better work‑life balance.

We are seeking dynamic individuals with a passion for both providing support and helping people to live as independently as possible. The role is both demanding and exciting and you will be responsible for visiting people in their own homes to provide support based on their goals. You will help people to regain independence using a reablement approach so they can undertake tasks such as personal care, meal preparation and taking medication, through support that is dignified, respectful and places that person at the centre of care. This will also include ensuring safe health‑and‑safety levels and taking into consideration any issues that prevent a person from becoming independent if they are unable to make their own decisions.
