Dorchester, United Kingdom Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Come and join our Dorset Stroke and Neuro Service serving the West and North of Dorset

We have recently been awarded significant investment in Dorset to develop Stroke and Neuro Services across Dorset to meet the National Stroke Service model published by NHS England last year (particularly with regards to Integrated Community Stroke Services
- ICSS).

This is a really exciting time as we significantly expand our existing services and embed innovative ways of working to improve clinical outcomes for patients following stroke or neurological illness or injury.

Importantly, this once in a generation investment increases our team threefold and significantly extends the time patients can access the service moving to a needs led, rather than time limited service.

Our team expansion includes nursing, social work, neuropsychology and voluntary sector roles, as well as apprentices, rotations across the acute and community pathway and opportunities for advanced practice.

Over coming years we aim to further bring together a range of specialists working across the fields of stroke and neurology in Dorset, meaning our integrated team will have access to a wide range of specialists with many years of experience, many of whom work within a national capacity within their field to increase opportunities for learning and development of skills as well as opportunities for involvement in research.

This post is for a band 3 community rehabilitation assistant, we anticipate we have more than one of these posts available by the time of interview. Community rehabilitation assistants support our qualified staff with delivering therapy in physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy as well as working alongside our stroke specialist nurses. The job is varied and rewarding working with patients with stroke and neuro conditions in their own homes.

To contribute to the team’s role of providing Stroke assessment & rehabilitation to community clients under the guidance of qualified practitioners.

To work independently under supervision and in a supportive role as part of the Service

To deliver holistic six-month stroke reviews in a clinic and at home.

We have a programme initiated within Dorset developing communities of practice regarding psychological care and motor relearning, which postholders can join.

At Dorset HealthCare we’re on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services. We’re a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.

We do things differently here - it’s one of the reasons the CQC rated us ‘outstanding’ in 2019. It’s also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference. Whether you’re looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.

Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do and our success is a testament to our brilliant people. We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities and we celebrate diversity. We’re an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.

Working with us you’ll be part of a strong team, challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don’t know. And you’ll be working towards our vision to be better every day through excellence, compassion and expertise in all we do.
