Rehabilitation Assistant (Neuro) role at Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT)
You will have opportunities to work closely with other multidisciplinary teams in the community, primary care, the acute neuro rehab team, the stroke early supported discharge team and other external agencies. An in-service training programme and intensive Trust and Local induction will be provided. The post is within a multidisciplinary team and you will work alongside Neuro Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, Speech and Language Therapists and Rehab Assistants.
The post will be based at Hinchingbrooke Hospital, Huntingdon, but you may be expected to cover further across the South of the county, including county-wide cover at times. You will work in an agile manner using virtual consultation to manage your caseload of patients, having access to a smart phone and laptop to support this. Please note you will be required to travel independently around the county, meeting strict time deadlines.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and dynamic Band 4 Rehabilitation Assistant to support the delivery of neuro rehab as in-reach to the inpatient rehab beds and working with patients in their own homes. You will play a vital part in supporting patients with physical, cognitive and psychosocial challenges as part of an MDT to achieve their potential whilst instigating and delivering better health, better care and better outcomes for our patients.
Staff personal and professional development is viewed as highly important. Staff have the opportunity to receive training through an in-house in-service training programme and are supported to undertake a blended competency package to develop within their profession and role.
The ideal candidate will be flexible and adaptable to support service delivery across the organisation. The post holder must have access to a personal car for independent travel across the work locality.
