Job Description
We are currently looking for a Therapy Assistant to support the Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy Team within the Community Rehabilitation Unit based at Nelson Court in York.
As a Therapy Team we are committed to providing innovative and effective evidence-based practice and we are looking for a highly motivated and committed Therapy Assistant to be part of our multidisciplinary team supporting recovery of patients. You would be an integral part of the team following rehabilitation programmes prescribed by registered clinicians.
There is a robust support network for all staff, including clinical and management supervision and peer support and training.
The teams are closely supported by Senior Therapists and Advanced Clinical Practitioners, and we are keen to support and encourage the team to develop and provide excellent quality in patient care and meet national standards.
You will be supported to work through the competency framework and a robust period of induction and probation when joining the team, with an ongoing structure for supervision and development.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This role offers the opportunity to work with patients on the wards, to deliver rehabilitation programs devised by Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists, with a key role in reducing the risk of deconditioning with this more vulnerable group of people. This is a role that benefits from having regular patient contact individually and in groups, and is an important role in supporting the therapy and the wider multidisciplinary teams, who we have strong links with.
We are committed to providing innovative and effective evidence-based practice, using a Home First Approach and SAFER principles, and are looking for a highly motivated and committed therapy assistant, to be part of our continually developing service to this patient group. There is a robust support network for all staff, including clinical supervision and peer review.
