Rehabilitation Support Worker

You will support service users remain at their place of residence, whether it be their home or a residential home by increasing their independence and ultimately their quality of life through rehabilitation of personal care, meal preparation of their bedtime routines. You will also support their physiotherapy goals, as well as those of daily activities of daily living., Rehabilitation Support Workers play a key role in shaping and developing the service provided and so there will be opportunities to develop the role and service in a collaborative approach with Social care colelagues and the acute settings.
We recognise the need for development and career progression, so we offer clinical apprenticeship schemes, internal and external training courses and in service trainings to all staff.
Making Things Better
Quality Improvement is a key part of our work to improve our services and refine how we do things. We have a global reputation for our quality improvement work and we don't stand still! So we offer a fantastic opportunity for our staff to learn, lead and contribute towards improving our services.
We launched our Five Year Strategy in April 2018, which identified four main strategic outcomes to improve: population health outcomes, experience of care, staff experience and improve value. This complements the NHS Long Term Strategy and sets out our direction of travel.
Our Community
We provide a wide range of community health and mental health inpatient services to children, young people, adults of working age, and older adults in The City of London, Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Bedfordshire and Luton. We also provide psychological therapy services to the London Borough of Richmond, and provide Forensic services to the whole of North East London. We provide services in urban and rural settings, sometimes in our inpatient units, but mostly in the community close to where people live. Integrated care is key in making the best use of resources and providing effective care.
