Here is your opportunity to start a career in rehabilitation support work.

You do not need experience in care or support roles - we provide a full induction and specialist training and coaching.

Working in brain injury rehabilitation is different to other kinds of support work. You're there to encourage and guide individuals, helping them gain the skills and confidence to live independently.

You will share the journey with these inspiring people as they overcome hurdles, achieve milestones, and reach the goals they've set.

Many of the people we support only stay for three months before they are ready to move on. You can make a massive difference in that time.

Why join us?

Brainkind is a charity that aims to improve the lives of people
with brain injuries in the UK. Our assessment centres, rehabilitation units and hospitals use expert neurorehabilitation to support people to regain the skills they have lost. We treat people with a range of brain injuries - sustained through trauma, illness, substance abuse and more - to recover and meet their personal goals. Our employees are incredibly passionate about the jobs they do - you'll find a strong team spirit across our services and amazing colleagues who always pull together and look out for each other.

The Role

This role is based in Redford Court/Lodge, a 29-bed Service in Liverpool, the 29 beds are split over two buildings in a small cul-de-sac the main unit has 24 beds, 20 of which as flatlets and 4 self-contained flats, opposite this is a 5-bed unit Redford Court Lodge.

Both provide rehabilitation to people with an acquired brain injury. It is a unique community where the people we support can address their cognitive, behavioural, physical, and emotional difficulties.

Last year, the average length of stay was 12 weeks. Redford Court also provides a continuing rehabilitation service for those with longer term needs, this addition to the service is facilitated by Redford Court Lodge

You will be trained on how best to provide personalised support to our service users. You will follow individual support plans to meet the needs and aspirations of each person.

The focus is developing independent living skills:
personal hygiene, meal preparation, exercise, leisure activities, socialising - the daily routine of regular life.

Were service users have identified physical needs staff are required as needed, to provide hands on personal care which will involve bathing and attending to the individual's care on their behalf.

All activities of this nature are fully assessed by Occupational therapists and physiotherapist depending on need, staff are then supported to follow guidance produced by the therapists with full involvement of the service user.

It is a really varied job, with an array of activities to organise and participate in - both at Redford Court/Lodge and in the local Liverpool community: art, crafts, music, sports, gardening, shopping, swimming, and countless others.

The unit is a 20-minute bus drive from Liverpool city centre and the Albert dock.

You'll get huge job satisfaction from seeing the people you are supporting do more for themselves and live the life they want to live.

If you're interested in building a career, we're here to support you all the way on your own journey.
