Thompson Holistic Care Services (THCS) is a domiciliary care agency based in London, whose mission is supporting Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivors across the UK. THCS specialises in supporting clients with histories of non-engagement - whether due to breakdowns in professional and personal relationships - through highly-responsive, client-centered support packages.
At THCS, we support adults living with enduring, complex brain injuries and support needs to live more safely and independently in their own homes and communities. With the high-quality continuity of support provided by our rehabilitation support workers, we work with multi-disciplinary teams (MDTs) such as case managers, social workers, neurologists, psychologists, and therapists to carry out evidence-based rehabilitation programs.
THCS takes pride in delivering high-quality continuity of support for all of our clients, whilst support all of our staff. We recruit specifically and to permanent roles, providing highly-trained and experienced rehabilitation support workers to find the right 'match' for our clients - most of our support workers have been working closely with us for more than four years. Our organisation has been described as a "phenomenal" boutique support service, often going above and beyond to help those with life-changing injuries to get their lives back on track.
We are currently recruiting a female rehabilitation support worker to work with our Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) client in West Norwood (south London). Our client is a 26 year-old female with a C2 complete Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) who has a tracheostomy and is reliant on a ventilator. Our client is seeking a rehabilitation support worker to provide a mixed role of some companionship, playing some games (including video games), completing some simple stretches (no personal care), and tasks that the Occupational Therapist (OT) and Physiotherapist would oversee, whilst supporting our client a little with their psychologist.
Our client requires a support worker for 15-20 hours weekly, usually 4- to 5-hour support sessions Mondays to Fridays, paying £13.00 to £16.00 per hour dependent on experience. Access to your own vehicle is desirable but not essential to facilitate occasional hospital appointments with our client, for which taxi escorts are available. Candidates seeking sponsorship need not apply.
The ideal rehabilitation support worker should be an approachable, reliable individual who can build rapport quickly, as our client finds it quite difficult to trust others and would benefit from someone who is able and willing to build this trust over time. We also value applicants demonstrating a high standard of written and verbal communication skills.
If you are interested in working with our small, highly-focused team to empower our client to live more independently, then please forward your CV.
