We are seeking a Rehabilitation Support Worker to provide an exceptional service for our client in Enfield. This is a rewarding opportunity to be a part of our client's rehabilitation journey and support our client to achieve as much independence as possible. You will be working closely within a team helping to ensure that a continuity of care is provided to our clients.

About The Role
Your role will be dedicated to supporting a 64-year-old female client who lives in her own home.
You will provide support with her daily routines, focusing on community activities and maintaining her independence. She enjoys caring for her dogs and other animals, going to the gym, and shopping. You will be required to drive to transport her to and from activities, appointments, gym sessions and potentially accompany her on holiday.
There are no personal care or medication responsibilities in this role. The client works with a team of health professionals, and you will play an important part in supporting her ongoing rehabilitation and engagement in meaningful activities.
Flexibility is required to accommodate changes in the client's weekly routine. Building a positive, professional relationship and supporting her to achieve her personal goals are key aspects of this role.
Your main attributes will be friendly, approachable and have empathy towards your client treating them with respect and dignity at all times. We support vulnerable people to live as independently as possible, by building their confidence and skills to realise their potential.
