Rehabilitation and Physio Assistant / Support Worker (Surrey)
Are you a passionate and enthusiastic rehabilitation support worker?
Do you want to be part of an incredibly rewarding and person-centred approach to care?
If so, we are looking to grow Team Steps, where you will be caring for clients in their own homes and developing your skills as a rehabilitation support worker through our client specific training programmes - both online and in a bespoke classroom-based setting. When working independently with one of our clients, you will never be without assistance from us - thanks to our office team, who run a 24/7 on-call service.
We have a client in the West Clandon area of Surrey - the lady is moving to the area after spending years living in South Devon, she requires rehab based support following neurosurgery a couple of years ago, and needs support with physio and her balance, as well as her speech and word finding.
Our client is very outdoorsy and has always loved gardening and tending to her garden, so someone with an interest or background in gardening would be advantageous, as well as going out on her boat. She is also an avid rugby fan. She has ongoing rehab as part of her therapy, and will require support with physiotherapy sessions and speech and language therapy.
We currently have 5 hours a week available, one shift per week on a Friday with a focus on physio - there is room for flexibility on these hours.
There is also an option to pick up the additional domiciliary care hours on this package, 8-9am on two weekdays. Please enquire for more information.
Physio experience is preferred.
Responsibilities will include
· Arranging and supporting to attend appointments
· General upkeep of the property
· Administering medication
· Accessing the community
. Assisting with the client's programme of rehabilitation
. Personal care where applicable
Requirements for the position
