Band 3 Therapy Support worker Acute Stroke Unit

37.5hours - part time and bank hours also considered

Based at Leicester Royal Infirmary

Mon - Fri (plus weekend and Bank Holiday roster)

Providing rehabilitation for Stroke patients within a hospital setting.

If you have an interest in really helping people and aiding them to make significant improvements in their physical and cognitive abilities after they have suffered from a stroke, this is the post for you.

This role is based on the acute stroke unit at Leicester Royal Infirmary. The main focus of this post will be to work alongside the Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Speech and Language Therapists to provide a comprehensive rehabilitation package for patients who have had a stroke and are finding the activities that they did previously are now much more difficult. The post holder will be trained to be able to provide and take responsibility for managing their own caseload, carrying out assessments, treatments and interventions in conjunction with the registered therapy staff.

We are one of the biggest and busiest NHS trusts in the country, incorporating the General, Glenfield and Royal Infirmary hospitals. We have our very own Children’s Hospital and run one of the country’s leading heart centres.

Our team is made up of more than 17,000 staff providing a range of services primarily for the one million residents of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

We work with partners at the University of Leicester and De Montfort University providing world-class teaching to nurture and develop the next generation of doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, many of whom go on to spend their working lives with us.

Our purpose is to provide ‘Caring at its best’ and our staff have helped us create a set of values that embody who we are and what we’re here to do. They are:

- We focus on what matters most
- We treat others how we would like to be treated
- We are passionate and creative in our work
- We do what we say we are going to do
- We are one team and we are best when we work together

Our patients are at the heart of all we do and we believe that ‘Caring at its best’ is not just about the treatments and services we provide, but about giving our patients the best possible experience.
