Hackney Council is launching an innovative Reablement at Home pilot service, designed to help residents regain independence and achieve therapy-led goals in their own homes. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking service that is shifting Adult Social Care towards a "reablement-first" approach—focusing on independence, wellbeing, and reducing long-term care needs. As an Occupational Therapy Assistant, you will work closely with Occupational Therapists and the wider multidisciplinary team to deliver short-term, outcome-focused interventions that empower individuals to rebuild skills, confidence, and autonomy.
Job Responsibility:
Carry out strengths-based OT assessments and reviews under supervision
Support delivery of person-centred reablement plans (typically up to 6 weeks)
Assist service users to regain independence in daily living activities (e.g. mobility, personal care, meal prep)
Recommend and arrange equipment and minor adaptations
Promote a "doing with" approach rather than "doing for"
Monitor progress and adjust support in line with achieved outcomes
Maintain accurate case records and reports using IT systems
Work collaboratively with OTs, social workers, healthcare professionals, and carers
Requirements:
Trusted Assessor Qualification
Experience in occupational therapy or reablement settings
Knowledge of the Care Act 2014 and relevant legislation
Experience supporting individuals with physical or sensory disabilities
