Overview
We have an exciting opportunity for a Band 3 Rehabilitation Assistant who is dynamic and passionate about stroke rehabilitation to join our supportive and caring team.
The Community Stroke Rehabilitation Team offers specialist multi-disciplinary rehabilitation to adults who have had a stroke in a community setting. You will work closely with other professionals such as occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, psychologists, dietitians, nurses and therapy assistant practitioners. The service provides goal focused, time limited rehabilitation interventions in patient’s home environments and in other settings as appropriate.
The stroke rehab team works closely alongside colleagues from Leeds Teaching Hospital Trust, as well as third sector organisations such as the Stroke Association, to support patients along the whole stroke pathway, from hospital to home.
This is an exciting time to join the team, as we embark on implementing a new intensive rehabilitation pathway to support earlier discharge from hospital alongside our current offer.
