Help a Young Man Rebuild His Independence and Live Life to the Full
Are you looking for a genuinely rewarding role where you can make a lasting difference to someone's life every day?
On behalf of our client, Head First is recruiting Rehabilitation Support Workers to join a dedicated team providing one-to-one support to a young man in his 30s following a brain injury.
Our client has a great sense of humour, big ambitions, and a strong desire to live as independently as possible. He enjoys social activities, access to his local community, exercise, and spending time with people who encourage and support him to achieve his goals (such as undertaking paid or voluntary work and developing friendships.)
He experiences significant cognitive challenges following his brain injury and is registered blind due to a visual impairment. As part of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation team, you will play an important role in helping him maximise his independence, confidence, social participation, and quality of life.

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.
