About The Role
Rhondda Cynon Taf Council is pleased to offer an opportunity to join the Rehabilitation Service as a Rehabilitation Worker. We are looking to appoint a motivated, compassionate and enthusiastic individual to support people across Rhondda Cynon Taf to regain confidence, independence and essential daily living skills.
The Rehabilitation Service is a joint health and social care initiative, bringing together Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, an Occupational Therapy Assistant, Assistant Therapy Practitioners, a Team Lead and a highly trained team of social care staff. Together, the service provides short-term support, usually for up to six weeks, to help individuals recover from ill health, prevent deterioration where possible and reduce the need for longer-term support.
What You Will Do
As a Rehabilitation Worker, you will provide practical support, reassurance and encouragement to individuals following illness, hospital admission or a period of reduced independence. You will help people maintain, regain or learn everyday living skills, enabling them to reach their full potential and remain safely at home wherever possible.
- Support individuals to complete an agreed programme of rehabilitation support.
- Promote independence, confidence and wellbeing through practical, person-centred support.
- Work closely with colleagues from health, social care and other partner agencies.
- Communicate effectively with individuals, families, carers and professionals to help achieve positive outcomes.
- Contribute to team meetings, supervision sessions and regular observations of work practice.
