Job description

Overview

Do you have a passion for transforming the lives of people who have experienced severe injury or illness? Here at the National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) you will join an innovative, forward thinking team with the collective objective of providing first class rehabilitation to our patients. This post is integral to providing high quality, safe, compassionate and efficient care in an innovative way at the NRC. If you are successful you would become a key part of shaping the service going forwards and paving the future of rehabilitation in the UK. The model is to deliver rehabilitation regionally, with the East Midlands being the first, with others to follow.

Why choose the NRC? You will be at the forefront of big change over the next few years. Your contribution will be vital and you will be supported to grow and learn through our developmental programmes, as well as to engage in research and innovation. Planning for the NRC is in its advanced stages, and the building will be ready late 2025. This role will be temporarily based at Linden Lodge at City Hospital until we move to the 70 bed NRC facility in late 2025. For more details of the centre please visit the NRC website: www.nationalrehabilitationcentre.nhs.uk.

Responsibilities

• Assess the care needs of patients and develop a program of care which is evaluated and amended as appropriate.
• Carry out relevant forms of direct and indirect patient care without direct supervision.
• Work as part of the interdisciplinary team to assess, evaluate and deliver care to patients.
• Utilise and integrate evidence into practice.
• Assess the case needs of patients and develop a program of care which is evaluated and implemented as appropriate.
• Make sound clinical decisions based on the assessment of patients, including safe nurse-led discharges.

Due to open late 2025, the NRC will be the first to set new ambitious standards of practice and outcomes for rehabilitation patients in England. The NRC programme is hosted by Nottingham University Hospitals Trust. The NRC is a new purpose-built 70 bed facility on the Stanford Hall Rehabilitation Estate near Loughborough, co-located with the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre. Academic partners, led by the University of Nottingham and Loughborough University, will ensure research and innovation and training and education in rehabilitation are embedded at the NRC and central to clinical practice. The NRC is at a crucial stage of workforce planning to ensure the centre is established robustly to achieve excellence in patient outcomes, education and to embed research into clinical practice. Although this post will initially be based at Linden Lodge to support rehabilitation of patients in this setting, the successful candidate will be expected to transition with the service to the NRC.
