About the role
The Prevention & Early Intervention (P&EI) Lead Reablement Care Coordinator role is focused on supporting individuals to maintain their independence within their communities by providing information, support, and short-term care tailored to individual needs. The goal is to empower people to perform daily activities independently rather than relying on others.
The P&EI Team is a multi-disciplinary group that provides timely and targeted support to enhance the quality of life for individuals, carers, and families. The team emphasises enabling people to make informed decisions about their care and support needs.
The Lead Coordinator plays a critical role in organising, recruiting, supervising, and managing Lead Reablement Workers and Support Workers. The coordinator also manages resources, schedules, and performance to meet the needs of service users, supporting the organisation's mission to deliver high-quality, personalised care.
