We are currently looking for a Neurological Physiotherapist for one of our private clients based in Birmingham.

We are looking for a Physiotherapist that is available on a part time basis from 28th October to 28th November to cover annual leave.

This is a specialist brain injury rehabilitation centre where people initially come for a 12-week assessment period, where they begin a rehabilitation period to support their recovery. This is then reviewed and may be extended to allow for further rehabilitation to be supported.

Facilities 

The main centre comprises eighteen en-suite bedrooms and an internal pathway that supports service users in transitioning to one of the four independent flats. Two fully equipped rehabilitation kitchens support individuals to regain their daily living skills.

The people we support have access to a spacious communal lounge (and a smaller quieter lounge) including a games room and the refurbished physiotherapy room with exercise bikes, treadmill and other exercise equipment. The gardens are designed to provide additional therapeutic value, offering the people we support a lovely outdoor space to enjoy and watch the birds and wildlife and participate in gardening.

Specialism: Acquired brain injury rehabilitation.

• Eighteen ensuite bedrooms.
• Specialist assisted bathroom.
• Two fully equipped rehabilitation skill kitchens.
• Assessment and therapy rooms with exercise bikes, treadmill and other exercise equipment.
• Activities room.
• A private garden.

Our specialist rehabilitation is based on a neuro-behavioural approach and focuses on enabling people to function more independently and develop their lives as they choose. The multi-disciplinary team has specialist assessment and therapy rooms to aid individuals recover.

The programme may include:

• Educational and therapeutic sessions
• Support for personal, social, and domestic skills
• Guided leisure time
• Behavioural management
•  Community access
• Vocational support and training

The people we support are actively involved in reviewing their progress against agreed outcomes, and we promote the involvement of families in the rehabilitation process. Home leave is encouraged wherever possible.

In addition to the main bedrooms on unit, there are four flats (on unit) which are used for assessing independence of the people we support.

Access to the wider community forms an integral part of the rehabilitation journey. West Heath House’s proximity to shopping, coffee shops, and train stations makes it ideally situated for communal integration. The service also has access to culture, green spaces, and places of worship.

Our brain injury rehabilitation services are for people who experience some / any of the following symptoms:

• Cognitive problems including thinking, memory, problem-solving, learning, awareness, and perception
• Physical impairments that affect mobility, posture, or dexterity
• Physical and verbal aggression
• Communication difficulties
• Challenging behaviour

The post holder must also be HCPC registered.

Previous experience working in a Neurological setting is essential, along with excellent communication skills and a commitment to team working..
