Rehabilitation Support Worker

Role Overview & Responsibilities

Community Physical Rehabilitation Support Worker. Band 3

Are you looking for the opportunity to make a positive impact on peoples lives through rehabilitation? Supporting the improvement of their physical health, independence and quality of life?

Bedfordshire Community Health Services are looking for full time Support Workers to be part of the Transfer of Care Team. We are a 7-day service 8am-9pm. We currently have posts based in Bedford or Dunstable.

Using a personalised and holistic approach, you will support individuals within their own environment, encouraging them to regain confidence and independence through meaningful tasks such as personal care, meal and bedtime preparation and exercise programs. All visits are goal orientated via rehab plans. You will learn skills in moving and handling, risk assessing and identifying immediate solutions to reduce risks.

You will be supervised by a qualified member of staff, in order to provide you with support and upskilling.

There are promotion opportunities to work up to an Assistant Practitioner (band 4) which will be supported by senior management when opportunities arise.

Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive – so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.
