Suffolk County Council’s Home First service is the largest CQC regulated home care provider in Suffolk. With outstanding CQC results we pride ourselves on offering the highest quality reablement service to all that require it. We work in an intense but rewarding sector where every day we can see the positive impacts on the people of Suffolk we serve, helping them regain their independence and confidence.
As a self-motivated, caring, and passionate person who shares the same care and dedication as we do, you will join our team as a Senior Reablement Support Worker(SRSW).
Your role and responsibilities
As a key member of the Home First Service team, you will play a vital role in supporting our locality by completing care visits and assisting with Short Term Reablement Plans (STEP). Your contributions to assessment and reablement will be essential in helping our customers achieve their goals. You will mentor and direct new staff, aiding their development and ensuring they are well-prepared for their roles. Liaising with multi-disciplinary teams, you will support your customers and work closely with team colleagues and the Home First team Leader to handle tasks such as medication observations, addressing issues, and training new staff in basic skills.

Engaging with customers, family carers, and others in their network, you will handle more complex care packages with the right training and support to ensure confidentiality and safety. You will promote alternative ways to meet and maintain customers' long-term needs, advocating for a range of services that help people live independently and safely at home. Collaborating with assessment staff, you will monitor customers' progress towards their goals and outcomes, completing records for the ongoing review process. Additionally, you will have opportunities for development into specialisms and become a champion in your team for various skillsets.
To help you be successful in the role, you will receive a thorough induction, in-depth training and full support from your team to grow your skills and development.
You will need
- experience of front-line care delivery required (essential)
- ideally you will need an NVQ level 3 or willing to work towards
