Job Description

ABI/TBI rehabilitation support worker:

Thompson Holistic Care Services (THCS) is a domiciliary care agency based in

London, whose mission is supporting Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and Traumatic

Brain Injury (TBI) survivors across the UK.

THCS specialises in supporting clients with histories of non-engagement - whether due to breakdowns in professional and personal relationships - through person-centered support packages.

At THCS, we support adults living with enduring, complex brain injuries and support

needs to live more safely and independently in their own homes and communities.

With the high-quality continuity of support provided by our rehabilitation support

workers, we work with multi-disciplinary teams (MDTs) such as case managers,

social workers, and therapists to carry out evidence-based rehabilitation

programs.

THCS takes pride in delivering high-quality continuity of support for all of our clients,

whilst support all of our staff. We recruit specifically and to permanent roles,

providing highly-trained and experienced rehabilitation support workers

to find the right 'match' for our clients - most of our support workers have been working closely with us for more than four years.

Our organisation has been described as a "phenomenal" boutique support service, often going above and beyond to help those with life-changing injuries to get their lives back on track.

We are currently recruiting a male or female rehabilitation support worker to work

with our 20 year-old male ABI/TBI client in Weymouth (Dorset).

Our client is a 20 year-old man who has difficulties with executive functioning,

memory, communication, and anxiety since aged 10. He would like a male or female

brain injury support worker to help him with his current process of moving from his

parents' house to living independently nearby, and would like a support worker to

visit for 4-hour support sessions (twenty-eight hours) weekly Mondays to

Sundays (days and times to be mutually agreed with the client and his team), paying

13.00 to 16.00 per hour dependent on experience. Access to your own vehicle is

essential to facilitate community visits with our client.

No personal care is required, but responsibilities would include: Supporting our client

with tasks such as shopping, cooking, domestic tasks, budgeting and accessing

community opportunities. He is working with therapists to become more independent

with these task, so he requires a like-minded male or female rehabilitation support

worker to assist him to engage with these activities of daily living, plus motivating him

to engage with his wider rehabilitation programme to live more independently over

time.

The ideal rehabilitation support worker should be a resilient, reliable, and experienced

ABI/TBI support worker who is reliable and approachable, quickly builds

and maintains positive working relationships, and works calmly and effectively in

challenging situations.

If you are interested in working with our small, highly-focused team to empower our

client to live more independently, then please forward us your CV.
