Reference: 327-26-637-A
Job summary
Join an exciting new service launching on 1 September 2026 and help people regain confidence and independence at home.
We are looking for caring, motivated and enthusiastic individuals to join our new countywide Home First service as Home First Assistants. Working directly with people in their own homes following hospital discharge, you will play a key role in supporting recovery, promoting independence and helping people achieve what matters most to them.
As part of a supportive multidisciplinary team, you will provide personalised care and reablement, undertake assessments, review progress and support individuals to regain everyday skills and confidence. You will work closely with therapists, nurses, social care colleagues, families and carers to ensure people receive the right support at the right time.
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference to people's lives while being part of an innovative service designed to help more people remain safely and independently at home.
There is a wide range of shift patterns available between the hours of 7am-10pm on a four-day-on, four-day-off shift pattern. These roles are available over multiple sites in the East Gloucestershire team, which includes Cheltenham, Stroud and the Cotswolds.
Main duties of the job
As a Home First Assistant, you will support adults in their own homes following hospital discharge, helping them to regain independence, confidence and daily living skills. Working both independently and as part of the wider Home First multidisciplinary team, you will deliver person-centred support and reablement interventions tailored to individual goals and needs.
You will undertake holistic assessments and risk assessments, support people with daily living activities, and provide practical, personal and, where required, intimate care. You will assist individuals to achieve agreed outcomes, monitor progress and identify changes in need, escalating concerns appropriately to senior team members.
The role includes supporting people to use equipment safely, undertaking basic clinical observations, promoting wellbeing and independence, encouraging engagement with community resources and digital technology, and helping people maintain or rebuild links within their local community.
You will maintain accurate clinical records, contribute to reviews and multidisciplinary discussions, and work collaboratively with therapists, nurses, social care colleagues, families and carers to ensure safe and effective care delivery.
The successful candidate will be comfortable working independently within the community, able to manage changing priorities and committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate care that enables people to remain safely in their own homes wherever possible.

Posted 1 month(s) ago
Reference: 327-26-638-A
Job summary
Join an exciting new service launching on 1 September 2026 and help people regain confidence and independence at home.
We are looking for caring, motivated and enthusiastic individuals to join our new countywide Home First service as Home First Assistants. Working directly with people in their own homes following hospital discharge, you will play a key role in supporting recovery, promoting independence and helping people achieve what matters most to them.
As part of a supportive multidisciplinary team, you will provide personalised care and reablement, undertake assessments, review progress and support individuals to regain everyday skills and confidence. You will work closely with therapists, nurses, social care colleagues, families and carers to ensure people receive the right support at the right time.
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference to people's lives while being part of an innovative service designed to help more people remain safely and independently at home.
There is a wide range of shift patterns available between the hours of 7am-10pm on a four-day-on, four-day-off shift pattern. These roles are available over multiple sites in the West Gloucestershire team, which includes the Forest of Dean, Tewkesbury and Gloucester.
Main duties of the job
As a Home First Assistant, you will support adults in their own homes following hospital discharge, helping them to regain independence, confidence and daily living skills. Working both independently and as part of the wider Home First multidisciplinary team, you will deliver person-centred support and reablement interventions tailored to individual goals and needs.
You will undertake holistic assessments and risk assessments, support people with daily living activities, and provide practical, personal and, where required, intimate care. You will assist individuals to achieve agreed outcomes, monitor progress and identify changes in need, escalating concerns appropriately to senior team members.
The role includes supporting people to use equipment safely, undertaking basic clinical observations, promoting wellbeing and independence, encouraging engagement with community resources and digital technology, and helping people maintain or rebuild links within their local community.
You will maintain accurate clinical records, contribute to reviews and multidisciplinary discussions, and work collaboratively with therapists, nurses, social care colleagues, families and carers to ensure safe and effective care delivery.
The successful candidate will be comfortable working independently within the community, able to manage changing priorities and committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate care that enables people to remain safely in their own homes wherever possible.
About us
We have a skilled and dedicated workforce of over 5000 colleagues working in a diverse range of services over 55 sites and within people's homes. We strive to enable a welcoming workplace culture that builds and celebrates civility, inclusivity and diversity, while providing a sense of belonging and trust.
Annual staff surveys, regular Pulse surveys and other engagement opportunities provide our people with lots of opportunity to tell us about their experiences of working with us. In the latest staff survey, 61% of colleagues gave us their views. It was great to hear that:
- 72% of colleagues would recommend the Trust as a place to work, ranking us 1st for Provider Trusts in the South West region on this question.
- 76% would recommend the standard of care provided in our services if a friend or relative needed treatment, also ranking us 1st in the South West region.
