Job overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dynamic, forward thinking rehabilitation support worker to work in the Adult Community Rehabilitation Team  across both physical and neurological teams. The post holder will work with therapists providing rehabilitation to clients in the community.

The Adult Community Rehab Team is a large forward thinking service that provides inter-disciplinary rehabilitation to clients 18+. The team is split into two specialist branches (neurological conditions and physical conditions). ACRT consists of Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech & Language Therapists, Dietitians, Clinical & Neuropsychology, Rehabilitation Support Workers & Administrators.

The team is supported by a Consultant Allied Health Professional, Consultant Neuropsychologist, a Consultant Neurologist, Parkinson’s disease Practitioner and MS Practitioner.
