Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for us to be able to recruit more Rehab Support Workers to join and enhance our community rehab team.

You will join the Integrated Care Service (iCares) which works across Sandwell providing rehabilitation, case management and admission avoidance to people in their own homes.

These are often people recovering from an illness, a hospital stay or increasing frailty.

With our support and specialist rehabilitation we aim to improve their physical function such as walking, looking after themselves and even returning to community activities again.

Within the Team we have Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Community Matrons, Speech and Language Therapists, District Nurses, and Assistant Practitioners all working together to deliver integrated care.

Please note we reserve the right to close this vacancy early if a suitable number of applicants apply.

To work as a member of the service providing a rehabilitation approach to clients.
To participate in the assessment, treatment and monitoring of clients referred to the service.
Under supervision, to manage a caseload of clients to meet patient and service demands.
To provide interventions to clients as agreed with qualified staff, working collaboratively to meet ongoing client needs.

The Trust aims to be the most integrated organisation in the NHS with support for new ways of working and innovation.

As a result of this Sandwell Community is an exciting place to be with new investment and ever closer working with colleagues from the local authority and primary care.

Everything we do in the iCares Directorate strives to add value to the patient and their community. We do this by joining up our teams and services to keep people safe and well in their community. We have fantastic links with partners across the local authority and third sectors in order to do this.

We are a friendly team who support each other. Training and regular supervision are available and no one works in isolation.

As a trust we fully support flexible working and part time workers, which can be factored into your working pattern.

Within iCares we operate a 7 day service 8am-8pm, we take it in turns to contribute to weekend working and 8pm finishes.

Work is only one part of life. We are committed to helping colleagues achieve the best possible work/life balance. We are proud to offer supportive, inclusive and family friendly employment and flexible working policies.

We have a wide range of professional services and employee networks to help our colleagues be at their best and find support if they need it.

Mileage can be claimed for journeys at the usual NHS rate.
