About the Role

Yorkshire Community Care is seeking dedicated, compassionate, and experienced Rehabilitation Support Workers to join our team, supporting a client with a spinal cord injury in Manchester area.

Rehabilitation-Focused Support Worker Requirements

Given the intensity and specialist nature of the client's home rehabilitation programme, it is essential that all support workers have a strong rehabilitation-focused approach. They should be motivated, proactive, energetic and enthusiastic, with a genuine willingness to learn new skills and actively contribute to achieving the client's rehabilitation goals.

Ideally, support workers should have previous experience or a background in spinal cord injury, rehabilitation, psychology or supporting individuals with complex physical and psychological needs.

The client has a strong Jewish faith, which is an important part of their identity, values and daily life. All support workers must demonstrate respect, understanding and sensitivity towards the client's religious beliefs and practices. They should actively support the client's religious needs, including facilitating attendance at synagogue and enabling participation in religious observances and traditions.

All support workers should receive appropriate guidance to understand and accommodate the client's religious and cultural needs, ensuring that care is delivered in a respectful, inclusive and person-centred manner.

The overall expectation is that support workers work collaboratively as part of a consistent, rehabilitation-focused team, promoting the client's independence, dignity, motivation, wellbeing and quality of life.
