Come and join one of the UKs largest independent providers in neuro and mental healthcare. We proudly employ over 4000+ people - no matter what your experience, we have jobs for everyone.
We have an amazing opportunity for Support Workers to join our friendly team at our Kingly Terrace service in Rushden. Our wonderful team understand that a holistic approach is necessary to ensure that those in our care are safe, happy, and healthy. We promote and fulfil the company values of being caring, honest, pro-active, and empowering for those we support.
Kingly Terrace is a detached property providing support for eight adults with acquired brain injuries or neurological conditions. The house includes 12 large single bedrooms, a communal lounge and dining area, kitchen and separate laundry room. There is an additional Spa bathroom with a modified bath and ceiling track hoist. The ground floor is large enough to accommodate wheelchair users and there is a lift to access upper floors. Located within a thriving local community, people are supported to access the wider opportunities both in and around their home.
There is a separate therapy space within the service where residents have the opportunity to work with our sister company Neural Pathways on their tailored therapy programme, which includes Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy and there is also access SALT when required to improve quality of life.
We have an easily accessible garden which allows our residents to enjoy the outdoors in a safe, secure environment.
