Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
Are you dynamic, motivated and have a passion for supporting independence? We have a new opportunity for a Rehabilitation Support Worker to join our large and friendly team.
Our Rehabilitation Support Workers work closely alongside our Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists to support prescribed exercises, promote safe moving and handling skills for patients and care givers and issue equipment as directed. Applicants will require sound moving and handling skills, good problem solving, prioritisation and excellent communication.
Main duties of the job
As a key member of the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, you will be joining an exceptional team working together to help our patients to stay healthy, when they need it most.
Job responsibilities
Whilst the main base of this role will be within our Community Rehabilitation Team, you will be able to gain experience with inpatients, outpatient clinics, exercise groups, and domiciliary visits. Our caseload covers a variety of conditions from post-op rehab to long-term condition management, falls prevention and same-day equipment to keep patients safe at home. The successful applicant will be responsible for their own caseload which is supervised by our qualified Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists.
Excellent IT skills are required to coordinate the smooth running of the service due to our online patient records programme.
Working Pattern: The successful candidate will enter the team rota to complete late shifts which support our Urgent Community Response Team (10-6pm or 12-8pm depending on service need). We are pleased to offer full time hours (37.5) to the successful candidate.
