Job Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Weymouth and Portland Integrated Community Rehabilitation Team based at Westhaven Hospital. The post is a full-time position working as part of a seven day service covering the hours 0800-2000. Dorset is renowned for its quality of living, picturesque countryside and its famous Jurassic Coastline. You could improve your quality of life by combining these benefits with working for a transformational organization. The Integrated Community Rehabilitation Team is a multi-disciplinary team offering therapy to a wide range of people within their home environments to prevent avoidable hospital admissions and facilitate earlier hospital discharge as well as in-reaching onto the wards. It is essential that you have experience of rehabilitation or a caring role, preferably in both ward and community settings, as well as having good verbal, written and team working skills. You will need to be flexible in your approach and confident to work alone. Basic IT skills and NVQ level 2/3 would be advantageous. Responsibilities will require you to work mainly under the close supervision of the clinicians within the team, but at times also to work autonomously. You will need to have the ability to drive a car as you will be required to visit patients in their own homes and other community settings. In return for your enthusiasm and commitment, we can provide an opportunity for you to develop your clinical skills and experience in a supportive team, with regular supervision and appraisals. You will be required to achieve a certain competency level which we will give you support and training to help you reach. Opportunities for further training may be available through the Trusts Training Department. Employment in this post requires an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
