Are you an experienced and passionate Occupational Therapist looking for an opportunity to make a real impact in neurological rehabilitation? Join our specialist team at Woodlands Neurological Rehabilitation Centre on a fixed-term 1-year contract and be part of an innovative service that combines expert clinical care with cutting-edge rehabilitation technology to support service users on their journey to recovery.
Woodlands is a specialist rehabilitation service providing expert care for individuals with conditions such as brain injury, spinal injury, stroke, Huntington’s disease, and Guillain-Barr Syndrome. We are currently expanding our capabilities to admit more acute patients at the early stages of their rehabilitation journey, including those requiring tracheostomy care. Our multidisciplinary team is dedicated to delivering patient-centred therapy that maximises independence, function, and quality of life. We work closely with patients, families, and external healthcare professionals to ensure the best possible rehabilitation outcomes.

As part of our commitment to enhancing recovery, Woodlands has recently conducted a trial in partnership with Neural Pathways, introducing state-of-the-art advanced therapy equipment. This includes:

• MYRO A versatile interactive therapy surface that enhances upper limb function, coordination, and cognitive skills.
• Diego VR A virtual reality system that supports movement therapy and engagement through immersive rehabilitation exercises.
• PABLO A sophisticated system designed to assess and train fine motor control, grip strength, and functional hand movements.

The success of this trial has been remarkable, with positive patient outcomes demonstrating the potential benefits of these advanced rehabilitation tools, and we are hopeful that we can make these a permanent feature of our service in the future.
If you are eager to be part of a forward-thinking service that is shaping the future of neurological rehabilitation, we would love to hear from you!
