I wish to have motivated and experienced individuals to work alongside me, my family and rehabilitation team, to support and facilitate my independence. I require support with all personal care, communication and mobility. I am a wheelchair user.

In addition, I would like them to support me to access my hydrotherapy pool.
As a Team Leader you will have the abilities to lead my support team by being organised at managing paperwork, ensuring staff rotas are up to date and supervising and appraising the care team. You will be professional when communicating with my therapists and family members and advocate on my behalf. You will be expected to contribute to the plans and risk assessments necessary for safe care to be delivered, ensuring these are up to date and reviewed on time. You will be an integral part of the rehab team. As the Team Leader, you’ll have effective communication skills and be able to converse with me, my family and case manager when required. This role is subject to an Enhanced level DBS check and full induction and training will be provided.
