Brainkind is a charity that aims to improve the lives of people with brain injuries in the UK. Our assessment centres, rehabilitation units, and hospitals use expert neurorehabilitation to support people to regain the skills they have lost. Our employees are incredibly passionate about the jobs they do – you’ll find a strong team spirit across our services and amazing colleagues who always pull together and look out for each other.
The Role
We provide assessment and rehabilitation, continuing rehabilitation, and a range of transitional living options to support those progressing to greater independence. When a service user is admitted to Ty Aberdafen, they undergo an in-depth neurobehavioral assessment to determine their potential for social reintegration and increased independence.
Ty Aberdafen is a bright modern purpose-built residential rehabilitation centre that provides rehabilitation and support services to people who have suffered various types of acquired brain injury. The service can accommodate up to 24 residents.
Within the centre, residents are supported to participate in group sessions led by an in-house activity coordinator, with staff getting involved. Group sessions can include baking, arts and crafts, quiz days, disco nights, and more.
The aims and objectives of the staff team at Ty Aberdafen are to provide residential accommodation, personal care, rehabilitation therapy, and support for people aged over 18 with cognitive, behavioural, and functional difficulties resulting from different forms of acquired brain injury.
Staff encourage and support residents to take part in their preferred social and leisure pursuits, within the home and the local community. Whenever possible, residents are encouraged to use public facilities as part of their long-term rehabilitation and social reintegration programme.
Our rehabilitation support staff work closely with the onsite clinical team and assist with the delivery of rehabilitation plans and therapy sessions.
