Job responsibilities
At Nottingham Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centre, we’re passionate about helping individuals rebuild their lives after life-changing events. Take Annette’s story, for example.
Annette's life was turned upside down after a stroke left her with severe mobility challenges, anxiety, and fatigue. Following specialist care at our Millwood Unit, Annette worked closely with our dedicated multi-disciplinary team, who tailored strategies to meet her unique needs. Through physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech and language therapy, she regained mobility, transitioned to a regular diet, and reclaimed her independence. Today, Annette lives at home with her husband and credits our team with giving her a lifeline.
As an Occupational Therapist, you will be instrumental in helping patients like Annette achieve their rehabilitation goals and regain independence.
At Nottingham Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centre, we don’t just deliver care; we transform lives. Every member of our team plays a vital role in our patient-centred approach, empowering individuals to overcome obstacles and embrace new possibilities.
Annette’s words resonate with us: “Anything is possible.” If you share our belief and are ready to inspire hope and recovery, we’d love to hear from you.
