Description

An excellent opportunity has arisen for 2 experienced physiotherapy support workers to join the Neuro rehabilitation teams within Stroke rehabilitation and Specialist head injury rehabilitation physiotherapy team within University Hospital Llandough.


Both teams provide assessment and intervention for people following a Stroke or a brain injury supporting their rehabilitation and timely discharge.

You will support the Physiotherapy team in providing assessment and intervention to facilitate recovery.


There is an opportunity within Stroke Rehabilitation to support the 7 day service to the acute stroke team in UHW.

There is an opportunity within the specialist neuro service to support sessions within hydrotherapy.

Both successful applicants will work alongside the qualified physiotherapists providing specialised rehabilitation. As part of your work, you will be delegated treatment programmes to carry out with patients. This may include supervising mobility and supervising exercise-based rehabilitation for both individuals and groups. You will be expected to progress these within set guidelines.

Your role will also include administrative tasks and contributing to the general running of the Physiotherapy Department.

You will need to show both interest and understanding of rehabilitation and must demonstrate excellent communication skills.

It is important that you are a team player with a positive outlook, adaptable to change, showing enthusiasm and ability to learn and develop new skills.

Previous experience of both rehabilitation in a hospital setting and classwork would be advantageous. This post may include aspects of personal care.

We value and encourage all team members to be actively involved with offering ideas for improvement.
