Preston, United Kingdom Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Do you want the opportunity to be a part of a great team at the NRU? Developing your skills as a Band 2 core therapy assistant in a supportive, forward-thinking team?

The Neurological Rehabilitation Unit (NRU) is a Specialist Regional Service providing rehabilitation following neurological trauma or disease within Lancashire and South Cumbria. We are an integrated team of OT and physio team working closely with the wider MDT to promote integrated therapy provision. We work in partnership with our acute and community colleagues to provide high quality, seamless service for our patients

In return, we can offer you a supported work environment where you can develop your skills and knowledge and play a key role in the delivery of high-quality health care. There are multiple opportunities for personal and professional development, both within the team and at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals. We have a dedicated Health Academy and the learning and development of staff within the trust is very much encouraged and supported, alongside participation in the late shift rota to facilitate discharges from other area of the hospital during times of pressure.

You should be dynamic and flexible with excellent communication and team working skills in order to provide a patient-centred service. Therapeutic handling, personal care activities and splinting are used daily. A background of rehabilitation or neuro-rehabilitation, both cognitive and physical, would be valued but not essential given the challenging presentation of our patients.

Working with us gives you the knowledge and sense of pride that every activity you do genuinely does make a difference to support our patients & staff, ensuring we keep thriving & delivering outstanding healthcare right across our local towns.

You’ll have access to varied development opportunities, learn new skills, meet fab people & do things you’d never have done. You’ll learn about working in a hospital, interacting with people from all different roles to build skills & enhance your career path.

You’ll make an impact, be challenged to think differently, be bold & help innovate to keep improving things. Everything we do centres around patient care which means your role is pivotal and something really to be proud of.

You will work closely within an integrated team of OTs and Physiotherapists and the wider multidisciplinary team to promote an integrated approach to therapy provision within Adult Neuro Rehabilitation.
