This is a rare and exciting opportunity to work within a very supportive and varied multi professional community team. As a team we are keen to support the development of our staff.
As a therapy assistant within the team you will work closely within a multi professional team of nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, assistant practitioners and other therapy assistants supporting the implementation of a range of delegated interventions and supporting activities of daily living.
Your work will be essential and hugely rewarding as you support our vulnerable and frail population to remain in their own homes with care support and therapy programmes. You will make a huge difference to people's lives when they are presenting at their most vulnerable.
