Job description

Come and join one of the UK’s largest independent providers in neuro and mental healthcare. We proudly employ over 4000+ people - no matter what your experience, we have jobs for everyone.

We currently have an exciting opportunity for an experienced, compassionate, proactive, and motivated Therapy Technician to join our dynamic multidisciplinary team at Hunters Moor Neurological Rehabilitation Centre in Birmingham.

Our centre provides expert care and rehabilitation for individuals living with complex neurological conditions, including acquired brain injury, spinal cord injury, and progressive neurological disorders.

As a Therapy Technician, you’ll play a key role in helping residents regain independence, improve their quality of life, and achieve their personal goals. You’ll work closely with Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists, supporting the delivery of individualised treatment plans tailored to each person’s unique needs. You will also be expected to work independently with patients following clinical guidance and delegation from the supervising therapist.

We are looking for an experienced Therapy Assistant/Technician. The successful candidate will be part of a dedicated team committed to delivering high-quality care and making a meaningful difference in the lives of the people we support.

Active Neuro has invested in state-of-the-art robotic technology to enhance the outcomes we deliver to our clients. A full suite of technology including equipment such as the Luna EMG Premium and the ExoMotus M4 are enabling therapists to provide intensive goal orientated rehabilitation.

If you’re a dedicated Therapy Technician looking to develop your skills in a supportive and forward-thinking environment, we’d love to hear from you.
