Casual Occupational Therapy Assistant Salisbury, England
Job description
Summary
Wiltshire Council has a vision to work with people in the community to live the best life they can. The Ongoing Support service is part of this fantastic new approach, and there are opportunities for you to join this empowering, ground-breaking service and influence people’s lives in a person centred and positive way.
LIVE WORK SUPPORT
Reablement focuses on what people can do and builds on these skills rather than focusing on what the individual cannot do. Reablement also works with community partners and organisations to re-connect the individual to activities and groups that have been, or are important to that person. This improves well-being and reduces loneliness. The reablement team seek to support people to make use of community and personal assets to achieve their goals.
About the role
You will be working with people in their own homes and play a key role in enabling customers to achieve their goals and objectives. Working alongside dedicated occupational therapists you will co-deliver customers’ reablement plans.
In addition, our new service is moving towards an integrated relationship with our health partners and we have designed a new discharge pathway that supports customers on their journey home from hospital in a seamless whole system approach called Home First Plus. This will see health and social care staff working together to achieve the best outcomes for the customer.
About you
If you have a caring attitude, a friendly professional approach and an ability to work with a diverse range of customers to achieve their goals then please consider a role in reablement.
