Job overview

Surrey Downs Health and Care (SDHC) deliver care closer to people's own communities through our Primary Care Networks and our innovative partnership of local NHS organisations.

  • The three GP federations representing practices that operate in the Surrey Downs area

  • CSH Surrey

  • Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust

  • Surrey Council County

Historically, there have been boundary lines between the organisations that provide care to people in their homes, in GP surgeries and in hospitals, but we have always been united in our mission to provide great care to the people who need us.

It's on those grounds that the Surrey Downs Health and Care was formed – we want local people to receive the care that they need in the right environment. By bringing together our expertise, we can improve patient care and enable local people to access the right support, care and treatment more easily than ever before.

The rehab assistant supports treatment across Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech and Language Therapy, managing a routine caseload and assessing and treating patients within agreed guidelines. They monitor patient progress, making minor adjustments to treatment programmes as appropriate, and work independently on a day-to-day basis while reporting progress and any concerns to the treating therapist. Regular guidance is sought from therapists to ensure safe and effective practice.

Working for our organisation

Our ambition is to create a health and care system built around the people and communities of Sutton and continues to evolve through system-wide collaboration and co-creation. Through this place-based Partnership, we will ensure that the needs of people will be expressed and met locally in the place where they live.
