Job Opportunity: Therapy Support Worker in Neurosciences
Do you have a background as a therapy or health care assistant and fancy a new challenge working within Neurosciences? Do you have the skills required to support our fantastic therapy team in providing excellent care? Then this is the job for you!
We need a person who is passionate and dedicated to make a real difference to our patients’ lives. You will be working alongside our therapists to promote safe and timely treatment plans and discharges for our complex patients, as well as assisting in the day-to-day running of the team including ordering of equipment and other administrative tasks.
Our team is renowned for a great team ethos, with extremely high levels of engagement, motivation, and enthusiasm. We really value the personal skills, experience, and qualities of every member of our diverse, knowledgeable, and supportive team, and we love to share knowledge with new colleagues. The only thing we are missing is you!
About the Role
As a therapy support worker, no two days are the same. The morning starts with the daily handover where we plan our work for the day. This could include joint sessions with the Physio, OT, or another therapy assistant, as well as individual treatment interventions. These sessions include facilitation of washing and dressing activities, mobility practice and exercises, sensory stimulation, cognitive rehabilitation, and the use of excel spreadsheets to gather audit data.
