Considerable focus is placed on Assessment and Reablement services, ensuring an equitable and integrated approach to supporting individuals from both Hospital and Community settings. By promoting independence and leveraging opportunities for early help, the team ensures that resources are prioritised for those requiring social work support. This model strengthens collaboration with internal Swansea Council teams to enable timely move-on, helping to maximise the reach and impact of reablement services for more citizens across Swansea. Through coordinated, person-centred interventions, the team supports improved outcomes and reduces reliance on long-term care.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established, supportive team, committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred care in an inclusive environment.
