An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 4 Rehabilitation Support Specialist to join a multidisciplinary community team, assisting therapists in providing exceptional rehabilitation services to patients.

This role is crucial for the ongoing care and management of clients within the community setting.

As part of this position, you will have the chance to develop your skills within community rehabilitation services, collaborating with a broader support network and contributing to an integrated care system.
