Rehab Assistant | Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust

Job description

About

We have an exciting opportunity for a Rehabilitation Assistant to join our multidisciplinary therapy team, delivering community-based rehabilitation to people with a range of conditions under the supervision of qualified Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists.

This is a permanent, full-time role working Monday to Friday, 08:30–16:30. You will assess and manage an allocated caseload of clients with specific, predictable presentations, while also providing non-clinical support to qualified therapists.

You will work closely with colleagues across community and acute teams, GPs, social services and voluntary organisations to support patients’ care, wellbeing and outcomes. You will also work towards and maintain the Intermediate Care competencies required for the role, contribute to team objectives and follow Trust and local lone-working procedures.

Please note: we are unable to offer sponsorship for this Band 4 role.

You will deliver planned rehabilitation interventions to clients in their own homes, day centres, the local environment and outdoors, under the supervision of a qualified therapist.

You will undertake holistic assessments within your level of competence, agree goal-focused treatment plans with clients and carers, monitor progress and escalate concerns or significant changes to the relevant therapist. You will manage an allocated clinical caseload, attend weekly multidisciplinary team meetings and contribute to safe, coordinated and effective care.

You will keep timely and accurate clinical records, report treatment outcomes through structured supervision, and use outcome measures to support progression of rehabilitation programmes. You will also assemble and adjust therapeutic equipment and demonstrate its safe use to clients and carers.

Effective communication is essential. You will work closely with patients, carers, therapy colleagues, health and social care professionals and voluntary organisations, adapting your communication to individual needs. You will attend training, complete relevant competencies and take responsibility for your ongoing development.

We are proud to be one of the largest community healthcare providers in the country, with more than 4,500 colleagues caring for over four million people across London and Hertfordshire. Every day, our teams bring their skill, compassion, and determination to the people who depend on us.

What inspires us is at the heart of who we are: when we work together, we can help people move forward in ways that truly matter. Our teams support children as they take their first steps in life, and they stand beside adults as they rebuild strength, confidence, and independence. From newborn health visiting to community nursing, stroke rehabilitation, and palliative care, we are there for people through some of life’s most important moments.

Joining Central London Community Healthcare means becoming part of a community that lifts each other up. It means working in an organisation that values compassion, welcomes new ideas, and believes in the potential of every colleague. Your development matters here. Your wellbeing matters. Your voice helps shape the future of the care we provide.

We offer a competitive employment package because the work you do matters. At Central London Community Healthcare, you will join an inclusive organisation that invests in its people, supports development, and helps you thrive while delivering high-quality care.

Applicants are expected to present clear and relevant evidence of the competencies and responsibilities detailed in the attached Job Description and Person Specification, together with a demonstrated commitment to the Trust’s values of Accountability, Inclusion, Compassion, and Empowerment.
