Pay in the destination countries

Monthly, in US dollars. Each country is an Imora admission package — open one for that route's fees, language requirement and deadline.

What does the day look like?

You operate out of a municipal social services depot, a health trust headquarters, or a home office, traveling to client homes. Core tasks include conducting accessibility surveys and designing major home adaptations like level-access showers (wet rooms), modular access ramps, stairlifts, vertical through-floor lifts, and ceiling-track hoists funded by schemes like the UK Disabled Facilities Grant. You also prescribe minor equipment such as grab rails, raised toilet seats, shower chairs, and bed levers. You evaluate Activities of Daily Living (dressing, washing, meal preparation), assess moving and handling risks for hoist slings, and administer screening tools like the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and Barthel Index. Software includes SystmOne, EMIS Health, Liquidlogic Adults' Social Care System, Rio, or Epic, alongside laser distance measurers, inclinometers, and tape measures.

Standard hours are 37.0 to 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday, 08:30 or 09:00 to 16:30 or 17:00. Night shifts are 0%. Weekend work in local authorities is virtually 0% (NHS intermediate care teams may cover an 08:00 to 20:00 rota across 7 days, but nights remain non-existent). Driving is mandatory. While teenagers imagine 80% of the job is hands-on exercise therapy, reality is different: 30% to 35% is face-to-face home visits, 45% to 50% is clinical documentation, grant writing, and contractor coordination, and 15% to 20% is driving between homes.
