Why work with us

The post will be a rotational position working on the George Earle Acute stroke ward, Templer ward rehabilitation Unit, and within the Community Neuro Rehab Teams. The Stroke and neuro Unit at Newton Abbot Hospital has 20 stroke and neurology beds and provides post-acute inpatient stroke rehabilitation prior to discharge to the community.

• Work with patients with cognitive and/or perceptual difficulties as part of their rehabilitation
• Train and educate patients, carers, and families under the direction of registered staff
• Support colleagues to work effectively together to achieve common goals
• Act as a role model, valuing everyone’s opinions and experiences
