Job summary

The Calderdale Community Rehabilitation Team provides assessment, treatment and advice to adults with a rehabilitation need and goal, with staff and service users working together to achieve patient-centred goals. The service comprises 3 geographically based teams within the Calderdale area.

The service manages patients who may have complex neurological conditions such as Motor Neurone Disease and Stroke, acquired brain injury, long term neuro-degenerative conditions, patients with acute and chronic musculoskeletal problems, fallers, frailty, orthopaedic conditions including post-surgery, and complex multi pathology conditions which may include patients with dementia or learning disabilities.

The majority of clinical work takes place within patient's homes (including care homes). However, we also see patients in clinics or groups when it is more appropriate to do so. At times, the team visits patients in hospital to participate in meetings, or to assist complex discharge planning.

Main duties of the job

About us

We employ more than 6,500 staff who deliver compassionate care from our two main hospitals, Calderdale Royal Hospital and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary as well as in community sites, health centres and in patients' homes. We also are incredibly proud to have almost 150 volunteers here at CHFT.

Boards listen to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members - patients, staff and the local community.

Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in the changes to the local community needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.
