The Maximising Independence Service (MIS) is a new service area in Adult Social Care and Health (ASCH) which is focused on early resolution, prevention and promoting independence and wellbeing for all people. Its purpose is to help people to maximise their independence as much as possible by providing information, advice and guidance, setting short-term goals and identifying support to achieve those goals. 

It incorporates Occupational Therapy-led Reablement Teams which deliver individually tailored reablement programmes designed to prevent and reduce ongoing care and support needs. A Community Care Officer with experience and skills in therapy or rehabilitation is needed to work in this friendly and supportive multidisciplinary team.

Candidates should have a good understanding of how psychological, cognitive and medical conditions can impact upon peoples’ abilities to function independently. Additionally, you should have experience of carrying out functional assessment, goal planning and equipment/adaptation prescription.
