Job overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Hospital at Home Therapy Instructor (Band 4) to join the Brent Unplanned Care Team, based in Wembley. This role is key to supporting patients to receive high quality, person centred care within their own homes, helping to avoid unnecessary hospital admissions and enabling timely discharge from acute settings.

The post holder will play an integral role in delivering rehabilitation programmes to patients within the community and Hospital at Home service. Working under the supervision of registered therapists, including Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists, you will support the assessment, treatment, and ongoing rehabilitation of patients with a wide range of physical and functional needs.
