Rehabilitation Assistant | Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust

About this role

CLCH Hertfordshire Adult Community Services - CLCH NHS Trust provides a range of Community Services, and the Hertfordshire Division is recruiting!

Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust has been delivering West Hertfordshire Community Adult Services since October 2019. We continue to develop high-quality, patient-centred services in partnership with local communities and acute providers.

An exciting opportunity has arisen within our Neuro Rehabilitation Inpatient Unit in West Hertfordshire. We are seeking a Band 3 Rehabilitation Assistant to join our supportive and well-established multidisciplinary team. Participating in a 7-day working rota, including weekend shifts (approximately 1 in every 6 weeks).

This role offers the chance to work within a bedded rehabilitation unit, supporting adults with a range of physical disabilities and functional impairments resulting from neurological conditions. The unit provides specialist rehabilitation for adults referred predominantly from acute hospital settings, with additional referrals from community settings.

You will be part of a collaborative team committed to high standards of rehabilitation and care. We support learning, skill development, and service improvement, making this a rewarding opportunity for those looking to grow their experience in rehabilitation within a dynamic NHS setting.

The Rehabilitation Assistant will support patients to work towards agreed treatment goals, with a strong focus on improving independence and quality of life. This role involves promoting daily living skills, supporting personal care, and maintaining strength and physical function.

You will manage a caseload of patients and assist qualified staff in delivering individual and group treatment programmes within an agreed scope of practice. Working as part of a dedicated multidisciplinary team, you will contribute to therapy interventions and ensure clear handover of patient progress and any concerns to relevant ward or care home staff.

The role also includes supporting discharge processes, such as assisting with therapy discharge documentation and referral forms as well as managing stock take processes to ensure accurate inventory control.

We are looking for a motivated and compassionate individual who is committed to supporting patients to achieve their goals. You will be able to work independently when required, demonstrate excellent communication, organisation, and problem solving skills, and manage your time effectively.

As this is a community-based role, with travel between patient homes, there is a requirement to hold a full, valid, UK driving licence and have access to a car to use for business purposes (unless you have a disability as defined by the Equality Act 2010).

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.

Successful applicants will be required to demonstrate alignment with the Trust’s values - Accountability, Inclusion, Compassion, and Empowerment, alongside fulfilling the duties detailed in the attached Job Description and Person Specification.
