Overview
As part of our commitment to lifelong learning we offer the Care Certificate to all our unregistered health care professionals. This forms part of a robust induction programme providing fundamental evidence-based training to support you in your role with us. The Care Certificate is an agreed set of standards that define the knowledge, skills and behaviours we expect of specific job roles in health and social care services. Working closely with our Intermediate Care Team, as a Community Rehab Assistant you will support and assist the senior team members to provide care and rehab to people in their own homes. Our work is crucial to the community as we aim to prevent unnecessary hospital submission. We empower our staff to work autonomously and with flexibility by providing state of the art tablets to check in from home, write notes on the go and avoid being office-based, so you can enjoy working in your community background. We cover a 7-day service and share shifts to cover the service from 8am to 8pm. Having a driving licence and access to a vehicle to work in the community is essential for this role.
