Job Description

At Inspire Neurocare we help people become more independent through rehabilitation. We specialise in supporting adults with complex neurological conditions and injuries going beyond traditional rehabilitation and long‑term care by tailoring nursing care and therapeutic support to suit each individual’s goals, preferences and needs.

Help us make everyday count in someone’s life.

More than just your job title, Rehab Assistants are Carers, Therapy Assistants and Companions all in one. They take the time to get to know our residents and are trusted to give each individual the care they need, in the way they like. We believe every individual has the potential to achieve more, and our role is to support, encourage and empower them on their journey to greater independence.

You will work closely with our residents and their families as well as the wider multidisciplinary teams to provide holistic, person centred care in line with their individual care plans.

We will look to you to support our residents with a variety of daily tasks whether that be by assisting residents with personal care tasks (where required), providing social and emotional support to encourage participation in centre activities or simply by offering companionship by taking an interest in their lives.

This is a hands‑on role, where you will really make a difference in the lives of the people we support.

• Generous, above market‑rate pay
• Workplace pension
• Professional development and support for further career progression

We are looking for someone who is compassionate, reliable and proactive, with a genuine commitment to delivering person‑centred care. You must have strong communication skills, have empathy and be able to motivate and inspire residents and colleagues alike.

You’ll need to bring a positive attitude and be a great team player, we will support you with everything else!

Be different – be a Rehab Assistant for Inspire Neurocare!

You’ll be working alongside Nurses, Therapists and other specialists, in a tight‑knit, supportive and committed team. The glue that holds the team together is our Rehab Assistants.

A varied role where no two days are the same. Our residents have a wide variety of needs and Rehab Assistants care for each resident as an individual.

Supportive team environment. Our close‑knit team relies on each other’s experience and expertise to ensure the best outcomes for our residents. And our management encourages an environment where all members of the team are listened to and supported.

A chance to challenge yourself and make a real difference to our residents’ lives.
