Do you have an interest in social media? Do you have interest and skills in editing videos? Would you like to work in a cutting-edge team? This might be the job for you!
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Training/Social Media Project Support Worker to join the team within the Access to Communication and Technology Service.
Access to Communication and Technology is a specialist electronic assistive technology service, which is based at the West Midlands Rehabilitation Centre, Selly Oak, Birmingham B29 6JA. We are a service made up of clinicians (Occupational Therapist, Speech and Language Therapists, Health Care Scientists and assistants), technicians, stock and admin staff providing specialist assessment, set up, provision and maintenance of electronic assistive technology to meet the needs of children and adults who require Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and Environmental Control (EC).
We are a friendly, enthusiastic, experienced and supportive team who work collaboratively as part of a national network of similar services, all funded by NHS England.
You will be supervised by a Speech and Language Therapist and work alongside the clinical support team.
The post holder will need to work independently and travel widely within the West Midlands region and therefore being a car driver is essential.
