Are you passionate about progressing people to their maximum potential in their own homes? Do you have the commitment and desire to make a difference to people's lives? If so, a post in the Mid Hampshire IIC Therapy Team may be for you!
Our Community team works in patients' homes, linking closely with the GP practices in Mid Hampshire, covering weekdays only at present. Our community teams are based in Winchester City, Colden Common and Andover.

Rehabilitation assistants work primarily to implement treatment plans for patients as directed by the Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist. Previous experience working in a care or rehabilitation setting is highly desirable.
