Job description

Job responsibilities

Through our 24-hour rehabilitation ethos, our skilled team aims to empower our patients to achieve goals that are meaningful to them, in the face of illness, injury or disability.

On our unit, we use every activity and conversation as an opportunity to help our patients to take ownership for their progress towards meeting their goals and to building their confidence. We recognise and respect that rehabilitation can be a challenging experience and strive to ensure we are caring and continually responsive to the needs of our patients, their families and the needs of each other. We have the patience to listen and learn, and the courage to openly communicate to overcome difficulties and find solutions together.

We work together to provide a nurturing environment where compassion, respect, trust, support and personal accountability are at the centre of all our actions and interactions. By working in partnership with our patients, their families and health and social care services, we aim to prepare our patients for discharge by enabling and supporting them to return to their life in the community.
