Senior Rehabilitation Assistant

Senior Rehabilitation Assistants work with our Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists and Reablement Coordinators to undertake assessments and provide review to ensure people are receiving the right level of input and / or are working on their outcome based goals.

Senior Rehabilitation Assistants work as part of a close team undertaking activities according to people's individual goal plans, encouraging them to do as much as possible for themselves, to live well and safely in their own homes. They also work with the Reablement coordinators to support and maintain quality standards of work delivered by the Rehabilitation Assistants.

Your role will involve completing assessments, determining risks and how to manage them, communicating and recording your feedback to others involved in people's rehabilitation.

You will need to hold a valid driving licence and have use of a vehicle to enable you to drive around the locality so you can work with people in their homes. Team working and communication skills are essential. You will be confident with handling IT systems to update written notes and electronic records.

The service runs between 7am and 10pm, 365 days a year. There are pay enhancements for unsociable hours, as stipulated by Agenda for Change. For more information please see the Additional Information link to the shift patterns and search for NHS Unsocial Hours Payments for more information.
