Job summary

Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust are working together with Adult Social Care across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR) in order to deliver a Home First service offer alongside core Community Therapy.

As a result, there has been investment in staffing in order to ensure that services can be delivered by the right therapist in the right place at the right time, and to ensure that the local population across LLR receive timely high-quality therapy.

This is therefore a really exciting time to be joining this our service which brings together an integrated health and social care offer delivered by community-based nursing, therapy and adult social care teams and will allow you to use your therapy skills to:

- Support people to remain in their homes when they are having a health or social care crisis, rather than needed to go into hospital or a care home

- Help people get home from hospital quickly and provide them with rehabilitation and reablement to help restore their health, well-being and independence

- Deliver high quality core therapy reablement, rehabilitation and recovery to people within their own homes
