Rehabilitation Support Worker Reablement Team

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.

The shift pattern for this position is Monday Friday 0830/0900-1630/1700. 

We are seeking an enthusiastic and confident Rehabilitation Support Worker to join our Community Reablement Team in West Dunbartonshire. We would welcome applications from skilled and motivated individuals with genuine interest in supporting people to regain the skills they need to live independently. Your role will be pivotal in supporting earlier discharge from hospital and promoting independence in the community. You will carry a delegated caseload with the support and supervision of a Specialist Occupational Therapist. The successful candidate should be trained to SQV level 3, demonstrate a positive attitude, have effective communication skills and a sound understanding of the reablement ethos. A genuine interest in people is essential and experience of working within health and social care in a person centred manner would be advantageous. A thorough induction and ongoing training will be available and the successful candidate will also have the opportunity to contribute to service development. As this is a community based post, a full, clean, UK driving license is required.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay.  This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff.  This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours.  However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week.  If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.

Candidates should provide original and authentic responses to all questions within the application form. The use of artificial intelligence (AI), automated tools, or other third-party assistance to generate, draft, or significantly modify responses is strongly discouraged. By submitting your application, you confirm that all answers are your own work, reflect your personal knowledge, skills and experience, and have not been solely produced or altered by AI or similar technologies.

Failure to comply with this requirement may result in your application being withdrawn from the application process.
