Job description

Come and join one of the UK’s largest independent providers in complex care. We proudly employ over 4000+ people - no matter what your experience, we have jobs for everyone.

“When you find somewhere like this, it’s amazing.” – Jennifer, former patient.
“Without all the help, I wouldn’t be back at home with my husband.”

At Woodlands Neurological Rehabilitation Centre, our work changes lives — just ask Jennifer. A retired volunteer who valued her independence, Jennifer’s life was turned upside down after a fall led to a fractured hip and a brain injury. When she arrived at Woodlands, she was anxious, dependent on others for basic care, and struggling to communicate and remember.

Thanks to the dedication of our multidisciplinary team — including occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, psychology, and nursing — Jennifer made a remarkable recovery. Through personalised therapy, she regained her strength, rebuilt her confidence, and returned home to live independently with her husband.

Her story is a powerful example of the role our team plays in helping people rediscover their independence — and as our new Occupational Therapy Technician, you could be part of that journey too.
