Description

Come and join the UK's largest provider of complex care. We proudly employ over 4000+ people - no matter what your experience, we have jobs for everyone.

We have a wonderful opportunity for a Team Leader to join our wonderful Specialist Brain Injury Neurological Care and Rehabilitation Service in Nottingham, located in the town of Hucknall, 7 miles from Nottingham City Centre and just 2 miles from the M1 Motorway.

Our specialist centre provides long-term person-centred care and support for adults with either a brain injury or complex neurological condition.

Located in Hucknall on the outskirts of Nottingham, we specialise in the treatment, care and support of individuals aged 18 and over with physical and cognitive impairments as a result of brain injury or other progressive neurological condition.

With three distinct, yet complementary services on one site, we offer flexible care options from our specialist on-site team.

The site is part of the wider Active Care Group Neuro Network (consisting of 25+ sites) nationally and we focus on the use of clinical expertise, innovation and technology to meet patient's expectations of rehabilitation goals and we were most recently rated as GOOD by the Care Quality Commission.

Our clinical team is highly trained in the rehabilitation and care of adults with brain injuries and other neurological conditions.

They are supported by three unit managers, activity therapists and a team of housekeeping, catering, maintenance and administration staff. Our services are as follows;

Slow stream rehabilitation (Millwood)

This service is for people who have already undergone rehabilitation and still require further therapy to reach their optimum level of recovery.

It is also suitable for those who would find an intensive programme of care fatiguing and would make better progress on a longer less therapy-intensive programme.

We provide a range of rehabilitation therapies to help people relearn and practice everyday skills to give them the best chance of a return home.

High Dependency (Fernwood)
Fernwood is our high dependency service where we look after people with particularly complex nursing care needs. Residents may, for example, have tracheostomies, require assisted ventilation or may be mínimally conscious. We also care for individuals who may be in the end stage of a progressive neurological illness.

Residential (Hazelwood)

Our new residential care unit 'Hazelwood' has been created with a focus on activities and quality of life for those with long term neurological conditions.

Hazelwood service equally supports quality of life for people who have well established ongoing healthcare needs, but do not always require such intensive or significant input from others.

The service aims to provide a comfortable residential setting with 24hr staff support. Clinical input will be predominantly delivered by primary care services accessed through the local community services.
