Borrowdale House, South Tyneside

Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to be a part of a forward‑thinking, bespoke Reablement and Extra Care service in South Tyneside?

Have you previously worked as a care professional within a Reablement setting or have experience of supporting people to regain their independence following a stay in hospital?

Are you wanting to return to work after taking time off for other commitments or work around your studies? If so, a casual Reablement Worker will fit in with these commitments.

We are looking to build a casual team of experienced Reablement Workers, who are passionate about delivering person‑centred support through dynamic and innovative approaches at Borrowdale House.

As a Casual Reablement Worker you will work closely with our Therapy and Support Leads, Registered Manager, and other professionals to ensure a high level of person‑centred care is delivered using a therapy‑led, individualised reablement care and support plan and risk assessments.

You will be responsible for facilitating admissions to the service, which will include liaising with families and other agencies to ensure a smooth transition to Borrowdale House.

Administration of medication according to policies and procedures, low level health care tasks and implementation of therapy guidance will be required, ensuring best practices are always applied and in the best interests of the person you are supporting.

The role will help challenge the status quo and help lead change to ensure adults within South Tyneside are supported to live better lives.

You will have experience of working in a health and social care environment, as a reablement or support worker. With excellent coordination and communication skills, be able to deliver personalised outcome‑based reablement plans and be able to develop and maintain effective relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.

You will need the confidence and ability to demonstrate sound professional judgements, when making decisions and have the ability to support real change.

If you are up for a challenge, this is a great opportunity for someone with the right drive and ambition to join our highly motivated team. The successful candidate will share our enthusiasm, contributing to and influencing improved performance at an individual, team and service level.

As a casual Reablement Worker you will be required to support the service by being flexible in your ability to work day, evening and night shifts, some of which may be at short notice. You will also be expected to work flexibly to cover some weekdays, weekends and bank holidays.
