Healthcare Support Worker

Please note, we cannot offer a Certificate of Sponsorship for this role.

Elton Rehabilitation Unit is an 8 bedded facility that is located Clevedon, North Somerset. The unit is one of a number of community units providing support and active rehabilitation for those people being supported on Discharge to Assess pathway 2 (please see below).

Following a stay in the acute setting, the ethos for all people being discharged is 'home is best' and a large number of people are supported to return home utilising the robust and established ~Discharge to Assess Pathway 1. For those people that are identified as having on-going rehabilitation needs, they are considered to 'stepdown' into a Pathway 2 Rehabilitation, Reablement and Recovery bed at the Elton Rehabilitation Unit.

On the Unit, they will receive therapy intervention and support around complex discharge planning, to enable a timely and safe discharge to their usual residence or to a more suitable location if appropriate.

We actively promote a multi-disciplinary model on the Unit, where nursing staff work closely with therapist, social workers, GP's as well as other Acute and Community colleagues, to ensure the person we are supporting is kept at the heart of every decision
