Band 4 Rehabilitation Assistant

Rehabilitation can be a challenging time as a patient, but as a therapy team, we get the exciting opportunity of helping someone regain their independence. Are you currently working as a rehabilitation assistant and want to further your career and development?

We treat patients on an individual needs basis by identifying what they need to work on prior to discharge from hospital and supporting with referrals to community services when they have left hospital.

The role in Community Stroke Team involves working alongside the registered Therapists and specialist Stroke Nurse on initial visits to patients discharged from hospital, negotiating realistic goals, delivering rehabilitation programmes and working with patients to live their best lives following a stroke.
