Rehabilitation Support Worker
75 per hour
Here is your opportunity to start a career in rehabilitation support work. You do not need experience in care or support roles - we provide a full induction and specialist training and coaching.
Working in brain injury rehabilitation is different to other kinds of support work. You're there to encourage and guide individuals, helping them gain the skills and confidence to live independently.
Many of the people we support only stay for three months before they are ready to move on. Our assessment centres, rehabilitation units and hospitals use expert neurorehabilitation to support people to regain the skills they have lost. This opportunity is based in Fen House, Ely which provides rehabilitation to up to 25 individuals with an acquired brain injury. It is a unique community where the people we support can address their cognitive, behavioural, physical, and emotional difficulties. You will work alongside occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists and speech and language therapists who work collaboratively with support workers to enable individuals to achieve their goals, such as regaining the ability to walk, talk or re-learn daily skills.
We will train you to provide personalised support and you will follow individual support plans to meet the needs and aspirations of each person. The focus is developing independent living skills: personal hygiene, meal preparation, exercise, leisure activities, socialising, accessing the local community - the daily routine of regular life.
You'll get huge job satisfaction from seeing the people you are supporting do more for themselves and live the life they want to live. If you're interested in building a career, we're here to support you all the way on your own journey.
We can train and develop you to become a great rehabilitation support worker if you:
have genuine empathy for our residents, with the positivity, patience, and resilience to support them through the difficult times of their rehabilitation
