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., We're not looking for any kind of specific experience. It is your personality and values that will make you a good fit for the role and our Charity. We can train and develop you to become a great rehabilitation support worker if you:

• Have genuine empathy for our residents, with the positivity, patience, and resilience to support them through the difficult times of their rehabilitation.



• Enjoy teamwork and take pride in getting a job done well alongside your colleagues



• Have excellent face to face communication skills and a good standard of literacy



• Have good time management skills and the ability to prioritise your own workload.
  
  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. Personal Care is a requirement of the job role for the people we support.


We have full and part-time roles on offer.
