The Independent Living Service (ILS) plays a vital role in supporting residents to maintain or regain their independence. This is achieved through a range of interventions, including rehabilitation, equipment provision, home adaptations, telecare, and expert advice. The DTAH model enables timely hospital discharges by delivering rehabilitation and care assessments in individuals’ homes. This approach supports recovery, reduces hospital stays, and helps prevent readmissions.
The Deputy Team Manager will assist and support management within the services to lead and manage the teams, ensuring the work is allocated effectively and completed efficiently. Due to the high demands and the fast pace of the service, support is required to ensure the ongoing timely interactions/monitoring and flow through the service to minimise the impact on other areas such as the hospital and Home Support Reablement.
