Manual Handling
Training.

Super Rehab’s Manual Handling Training is designed to equip community care workers and family carers with the practical skills and knowledge required to perform manual handling tasks safely and confidently.

The training focuses on recognising risks, assessing environments, and applying safe handling techniques when assisting clients with mobility, transfers, repositioning, and daily care activities. Through practical demonstrations and real-world scenarios, participants learn how to protect both themselves and the people they support.

Whether you are a care organisation looking to upskill your workforce, or a family carer wanting to support a loved one more safely at home, our training is designed to be practical, engaging, and applicable.
