London, United Kingdom Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced PT/OT/SLT or Dietitian with excellent leadership skills, sound multi-professional management experience, and extensive community rehabilitation experience to undertake the role of Head of Service in the Adult Community Rehabilitation Team (ACRT) and the Wheelchair Service (WCS). This role works in close partnership with the existing job-share partner to manage both teams.

ACRT provides rehabilitation for clients with neurological and physical disabilities, and the team consists of AHPs and Clinical Neuropsychologists. The team is supported by a Consultant Neurologist, AHP Consultant in Neuro Rehab, and Neuronavigators.
