Rehabilitation Care Assistant

The Short-Term Support & Rehabilitation (STS&R) team is a reablement service dedicated to helping people get back on their feet. When someone has an illness, injury, or a hospital stay, we step in to help them regain the skills and confidence they need to live independently again. Along with delivering traditional care and support, we also provide reablement - we don't just &slshquot;do things&slshquot; for our customers; we empower them to do things for themselves, minimising the need for long-term support. Your Role As a Rehabilitation Care Assistant, you are part of a high-level, multi-disciplinary team. You'll work alongside Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists, making this an incredible opportunity to develop clinical knowledge and explore different career paths within health and social care. What you'll be doing:

• Individualised Care: Assisting with personal care, medication, and physical wellbeing based on specific 1:1 requirements.
• Skill Building: Supporting customers with daily tasks while teaching them techniques to do them independently.
• Collaboration: Working with therapists to follow specific rehabilitation plans.
• Community Impact: Visiting customers in their own homes across the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead.
• No Night Shifts: Working a mix of morning and afternoon shifts on a rota basis-no nights required.
  
  Whether you've worked in Domiciliary Care, as a Healthcare Assistant, or are looking for a total career change, we want to hear from you. We provide full, in-house training to get you started.
As this is a community-based role, you must have a full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle.

Unlike many community roles, you are paid for your entire shift, not just the time spent with customers. We also pay 55p per mile for your travel. Why Join the Optalis Team?
