Band 3 Specialist Stroke Community Support Worker - Bristol Bristol, England
Job description
About the Stroke programme across our region:
Across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire, health, care and voluntary sector partners are working together to improve services for people affected by stroke. This includes work to improve the prevention of stroke, as well as to provide the best possible stroke emergency care, rehabilitation and care at home once individuals are discharged from hospital. Our vision is to provide seamless, multidisciplinary care, so local people have the best opportunity to survive and thrive after stroke.
This role is based in Sirona's ICSS at Home team
ICSS at Home aims to reduce the length of time that people are in hospital by providing high quality home-based rehabilitation, helping individuals achieve their personal goals. We also provide advice and support to reduce the likelihood of further strokes and help people live well as they recover.
The care is provided by a multi-disciplinary team of therapist, registered nurses and support workers. Our team support people from the day they are discharged from hospital or a rehabilitation unit. This includes personal care and meal preparation, working side by side with voluntary sector keyworkers to support service users in the best way possible.
