Here is your opportunity to start a career in rehabilitation support work. You do not need experience in care or support roles; we provide a full induction and specialist training and coaching.
Working in brain injury rehabilitation is different from other kinds of support work. You are there to encourage and guide individuals, helping them gain the skills and confidence to live independently.
You will share the journey with these inspiring people as they overcome hurdles, achieve milestones, and reach the goals they've set. Many of the people we support only stay for three months before they are ready to move on. You can make a massive difference in that time.
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. We treat people with a range of brain injuries sustained through trauma, illness, substance abuse, and more to recover and meet their personal goals. 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.
Main duties of the job
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 neurobehavioural assessment to determine their potential for social reintegration and increased independence.
You will get huge job satisfaction from seeing the people you are supporting do more for themselves and live the life they want to live. If you're interested in building a career, we're here to support you all the way on your own journey.
