Senior Rehabilitation Assistants work  with our Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists and Reablement Coordinators  to undertake assessments and provide review to ensure people are receiving the right level of input and / or re working on their outcome based goals.

Senior Rehabilitation Assistants work as part of a close team undertaking activities according to people's individual goal plans, encouraging them to do as much as possible for themselves, to live well and safely in their own homes. They also work with the Reablement coordinators to support and maintain quality standards of work delivered by the Rehabilitation Assistants. 

Your role will involve completing assessments, determining risks and how to manage them, communicating and recording your feedback to others involved in people's rehabilitation. 

You will need to be able to drive around the locality to work with people in their homes. Team working and communication skills are essential. You will be confident with handling IT systems to update written notes and electronic records.

The service runs between 7am and 10pm, 365 days a year. There are pay enhancements for unsociable hours, as stipulated by Agenda for Change. For more information please see the Additional Information link to the shift patterns and search for NHS Unsocial Hours Payments for more information.

We have in excess of 5000 staff working over 50 sites, providing a diverse range of services. We strive to support an organisational culture that is welcoming, builds and celebrates inclusivity and diversity and provides a sense of belonging and trust. 

The annual NHS Staff Survey gives our people the opportunity to tell us about their experience working at the Trust.  For the 2023 survey just over 2800 colleagues gave us their views (58.5%).   It was great to see from the results that colleagues are saying that:

• 89.7% believe they are making a positive difference to patients/service users; 
• 73.3% would recommend the organisation as a place to work; 
• 82.4% agree that care of patients and service users is the organisations priority;
• 76.7% would be happy with the standard of care for a friend or relative     

Our results put us as 5th nationally as a Community, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities NHS Employer of Choice and 1st equal amongst all NHS Provider Trusts in the South West. However, we know we have more to do and will continue to drive forward our commitment to making GHC a Great Place to Work.
