  • To support patients in their rehabilitation and mobility, transfers, personal care, meal preparation and activities of daily living.
  • To work under Therapists' direction to assist patients to achieve person-centred goals.
  • To participate in weekend rota.
  • To support Therapists in making assessments and onward referrals to community services for care and ongoing support and rehabilitation.
  • To implement and monitor treatment programmes for patients, within the framework laid down by the Occupational Therapists and physiotherapists and to make assessment of progress.
  • Assist in the implementation, evaluation and modification of Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy.
  • To participate in providing a high-quality, effective and efficient Occupational Therapy and physiotherapy service.
  • To accurately record interventions in a timely manner.
  • To be able to work autonomously, assessing risk and judge when senior support is required.
