Home First

Imagine leaving your home abruptly and never returning to it again.

Imagine being told that you are moving house tomorrow and you have no control over where you are moving to and how much it will cost.

This is what happens to people every day because we assess people in a place that is not their normal environment.

The Home First Service assess at people at home by a team made up of nurses, therapists and rehab integrated care workers. The care plan will include rehabilitation goals, support for carers, and any equipment which may be needed along with self-help advice. Some people have complex needs and may require longer-term care. The NHS Home First team carries out robust assessments, before coming to a decision, with the person and their families, to determine their long-term plan of care.

This is where you come in.  We are looking for physiotherapists, occupational therapists nurses and rehab integrated care workers who can support people in their own homes to regain their independence.
