Job description

Night Rehabilitation Support Worker

PLEASE NOTE WE DO NOT OFFER SPONOSRSHIP FOR THIS ROLE

LOCATION:**** Broadbridge Heath/Horsham/Slinfold

SALARY: A competitive rate of up to £14.21 per hour plus £1 location allowance

HOURS: Part time and full time work available. Shifts are on a rotational basis - This is a 4 week rolling which includes weekend hours.

Kerwin Court delivers specialist neuro rehabilitation to adults with an acquired brain injury in a residential setting just outside of Broadbridge Heath. You will be working with a team of rehabilitation support workers alongside a multi-disciplinary team of occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists and speech and language therapists.

We are a passionate and committed team, delivering a high standard of care and rehabilitation. Our Rehabilitation Support Workers and Clinical Team thrive on working together to enable our service users to be as independent as possible and achieve their rehabilitation goals.

We will train you to provide personalised support to our adult residents. You will follow individual support plans to meet the needs and aspirations of each person. The focus is developing independent living skills: personal hygiene, meal preparation, exercise, leisure activities, socialising - the daily routine of regular life.

You’ll get huge job satisfaction from seeing the people you are supporting do more for themselves and live the life they want to live. If you're interested in building a career, we're here to support you all the way on your own journey.

You do not need experience in care or support roles, just enthusiasm and a passion for helping people - we provide a full induction and specialist training and coaching.

Supporting brain injury rehabilitation is different to other kinds of support work. You're there to encourage and guide individuals, helping them regain the skills and confidence to live independently.
