An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic Activities Facilitator to join the Social Therapeutic and Recreational Rehabilitation Team (STARRT) which works onto the inpatient wards at Walkergate Park, Centre for Neurorehabilitation and Neuropsychiatry.

The post involves working closely with service users who present with a broad range of complex and varied neurological conditions, including acquired brain injury and progressive neurological conditions.

STARRT aims to maximise service users’ ability to participate in leisure and social activities that are important and meaningful to them, both during their stay at Walkergate Park and beyond discharge. Goals for intervention are collaboratively set with service users and support of their Occupational Therapist.

STARRT will then work with the service user to create individualised and varied social and leisure opportunities on the ward and in the community to enhance their rehabilitation journey. Throughout their intervention, STARRT will continue to work in close collaboration with the wider treating team and Occupational Therapy in particular to work towards service users’ goals. 

The post provides an opportunity to work as part of a highly specialist team in a UKROC level 1 service. The post holder will be supported by the wider Occupational Therapy Team through supervision and facilitating ongoing learning.
