Come and join Bournemouth and Christchurch Intermediate Care Team, we are looking for Band 3 Community Rehabilitation Assistants (up to 26 hours per week) to support us develop and adapt to best meet the needs of our local population. We are committed to improving career development and training opportunities.

Bournemouth and Christchurch Intermediate Care (BCIC) work to prevent avoidable hospital admissions, enable earlier hospital discharges and support individuals' rehabilitation. The caseloads comprise a wide variety of medical conditions and illnesses including orthopaedic, neurological, respiratory, complexity due to frailty and older person care. We are about to provide a virtual ward and additional resource has been granted to support the needs of this service.

Professional support and access to the Trust’s clinical supervision, in-service training and other developmental opportunities are just some of the benefits of working as part of this team. The other benefits involve working in a beautiful area of Dorset as part of a large friendly team, who are co-located with numerous other community teams including the Community Neuro Service, Community Mental Health Team, Advanced Nurse Practitioners.

A passion for working with patients to enable them to achieve their fullest potential is essential. You will need to be an excellent communicator and motivator and enjoy working as part of a team as well as competent with lone working.

The post will involve treatment of patients in their own homes to enable them to achieve as much strength, confidence, function and independence as possible following their illness. Our Community Rehab Assistants work with guidance and support from our qualified Therapy and Nursing staff.

This post would suit a motivated individual who enjoys a busy working day, with a varied caseload.

BCIC service covers 08:00 - 20:00, seven days a week. This post is for someone who is interested in full or part time hours with a set rota shift pattern. We are committed to enabling a good work-life balance so some flexibility and requests may be considered providing the needs of the service can be met.

Employment in this post requires an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which the Trust will cover the cost of. Applicants who subscribe to the DBS update service are able to present a valid DBS certificate instead of requiring a new check.
