This is a fantastic opportunity to join a supportive community team, helping people rebuild their lives after stroke by working towards goals that truly matter to them.
In this role, you'll provide assessment and intervention to support individuals both as they transition out of hospital and throughout their longer-term rehabilitation journey. You'll work as part of a multidisciplinary team, offering excellent opportunities for learning, development and regular clinical supervision.

The role requires strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage and prioritise your workload effectively, including responding to changing and urgent clinical needs.
A key part of the role is empowering people to manage their condition confidently and independently--helping to prevent complications, maximise recovery, and improve overall quality of life.
