Rehab Support Worker

at  Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust

Do you like providing hands on care and support to people? Do you enjoy empowering them to be as individual as possible? Do you enjoy working independently? If so, then come join us in Intermediate Care.
Committed to outstanding levels of care, you will be working as part of a multidisciplinary team which consists of Rehab Support Workers, OTs, Nurses and Physiotherapists to support patients in their own homes. This will be either to avoid hospital admissions or support patients on discharge from hospital. You will receive lots of training to help you reach your full potential in the health and care setting.
You will need to be confident working on your own in patients’ homes, able to escalate issues and concerns for patient safety and be happy promoting patients’ independence by utilising rehab techniques as well as providing personal care to patients who are convalescing as well as to palliative patients. Excellent communication skills are essential.
You must be able to travel independently between patients’ homes across the area in a timely manner (eg car) and will need business insurance.
You will be rostered 37.5hrs over five shifts per week between 8am-9pm, seven days a week.
