Descrição da oferta de emprego

Are you passionate about delivering community-based therapy, allowing service users to improve their quality of life? Are you committed to a Home First/ pathway 1 ethos, where people can rehabilitate in their own environment?

Our therapists support hospital discharges, admission avoidance and long term self-management, enabling patients to live as independently as possible in their home environment. We support rehabilitation of patients in their place of residence to maximise functional potential including the provision of equipment and liaison with other services as needed.

In return, we'll give you the opportunity to develop skills and enhance your multidisciplinary working; we will provide you with regular supervision as well as the opportunity to develop your leadership skills.

We offer a flexible service which covers extended hours operating 7 days a week, to support our service user needs. Working arrangements include weekends and bank holidays on a rota basis.
