Company Description

🌟 Support Independence. Build Confidence. Make a Real Impact. 🌟

We are CCH. With 14,000 colleagues across 32 care companies, we have one purpose: to make sure no one in need of care is ever forgotten or left behind. We’re not only changing lives, we’re transforming the care sector. Our people-first approach puts care professionals at the centre of everything we do. Our goal is simple: to be the best place to work in care.

At Care By Us, part of CCH, we live by our values of Community, Courage, and Heart. We’re looking for compassionate, reliable people to join our Welham Green Reablement team as Care Assistants to help us drive this mission forward.

🤔 What exactly is Reablement?

Unlike traditional care where you might do things for a client, reablement is all about doing things with them. It is a specialized, short-term, intensive service (typically lasting up to 6 weeks) designed to help individuals recover and relearn daily skills—usually after a hospital stay, a fall, or a period of illness.

Instead of simply making their cup of tea, you will encourage and physically support them to make it themselves, gradually stepping back as their strength and confidence grow. It is highly goal-oriented. You will track their progress, celebrate their daily milestones, and ultimately cheer them on as they regain the ability to live safely and independently without the need for long-term care!

If you want to see the direct, life-changing results of your support, this role is for you.
