Job description

Job Description

Rehabilitation Support Worker

Aylesbury

Salary: A competitive rate of up to £14.75 per hour

Hours: Minimum of 21 hours per week. We do not offer 20-hour contracts.

Here is your opportunity to start a career in rehabilitation support work. You do not need experience in care or support roles – we provide full induction, specialist training, and coaching.

Working in brain injury rehabilitation is different from other kinds of support work. You’re there to encourage and guide individuals, helping them gain skills and confidence to live independently.

You will share the journey with these inspiring people as they overcome hurdles, achieve milestones, and reach their goals. Many of the people we support only stay for three months before they are ready to move on. You can make a significant difference in that time.

We have full and part-time roles available.

Brainkind is a charity dedicated to improving the lives of people with brain injuries in the UK. Our assessment centres, rehabilitation units, and hospitals use expert neurorehabilitation to support people in regaining lost skills. We treat individuals with a range of brain injuries—from trauma, illness, substance abuse, and more—to recover and meet their personal goals. Our employees are passionate about their work, fostering a strong team spirit across our services and supporting each other.

The Role

Located in Aylesbury, Kent House is a specialist residential centre providing ongoing rehabilitation and support for people with acquired brain injury (ABI). It is part of Brainkind's nationwide network of rehabilitation services.

We will train you to provide personalized support to our adult residents, following individual support plans tailored to each person’s needs and aspirations. The focus is on developing independent living skills such as personal hygiene, meal preparation, exercise, leisure activities, and socializing—covering the routine aspects of daily life.

The role is varied, involving organizing and participating in activities both at Kent House and in the local Aylesbury community—such as art, crafts, music, sports, gardening, shopping, swimming, and more.

You’ll gain job satisfaction from seeing those you support become more independent and live fulfilling lives. If you’re interested in building a career, we will support you throughout your journey.

About You

We’re not looking for specific experience. Your personality and values are what matter most. We can train and develop you into a great rehabilitation support worker if you:

• Have genuine empathy, positivity, patience, and resilience to support residents through their rehabilitation

• Enjoy teamwork and take pride in doing a good job with colleagues

• Possess excellent face-to-face communication skills and a good standard of literacy

• Have good time management skills and the ability to prioritize tasks

Rewards

You can look forward to excellent benefits, including discounts on many brands and services:

• A competitive rate of up to £14.75 per hour
• 33 days annual leave
• Buy/Sell up to 5 days annual leave each year
• Health Cash Plan (from June)
• Access to our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
• Excellent training and support
