Working within a commercial (personal injury and medical negligence) context, this field‑based role involves navigating clients through their personal rehabilitation journey by:

• Conducting in‑person and virtual assessments to determine clients' physical, psychological and social needs on an ongoing basis
• Devising and coordinating goal‑focused rehabilitation programmes, which includes a combination of both private and statutory services
• Coordinating private treatment e.g. physiotherapy, psychology, investigations or surgery

Person Specification

We are looking for a HCPC registered Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist, or NMC registered Nurse with a proven clinical background in one or more of the following specialisms:

• Complex orthopaedic conditions
• Brain injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Amputations
• Paediatrics

Rehabilitation case management experience is desirable but not essential as full training can be provided. Our Rehabilitation Case Managers work from home but regional travel to meet with clients, treatment providers and employers is a large part of the role. They also meet frequently as a team (both virtually and in person) and attend regular training events. A valid driving licence is therefore essential.

To excel in this role, you should demonstrate:

• Strong clinical reasoning skills with a solutions‑focused approach
• Effective communication, report writing style and interpersonal skills
• Excellent organisational and administrative skills with attention to detail
• Confidence with utilising IT software packages
• The ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team
• Alignment with our company values

We are happy to consider any reasonable adjustments that applicants may need during the recruitment process and you will be asked whether you require any during the application process.
