Job description

Job summary

Come and join one of the UK's largest providers of complex care. We proudly employ over 4000+ people - no matter what your experience, we have jobs for everyone.

Main duties of the job

Are you passionate about transforming lives and making a real difference? Join our team at Woodlands Neurological Rehabilitation Centre, where we provide exceptional care and rehabilitation for adults with complex neurological conditions.

Our work is driven by patient success stories like Stanley's. Stanley came to us after contracting Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare and serious condition affecting the nerves. When he arrived, he couldn't walk, feed himself, or use his right arm. Yet, after 24 weeks of determination, resilience, and support from our dedicated team, Stanley walked out of Woodlands unaided, achieving his ultimate goal.

Stanley shared: I would like to thank everybody here at Woodlands in every single department for helping me on my road to recovery. Words of encouragement, a friendly smile, an impromptu chat, a shoulder to lean on these were all on offer at Woodlands. You've given me self-belief and taught me once more how to be independent.

We pride ourselves on delivering expert care with warmth, compassion, and humour values that Stanley reminded us are essential to the healing process.

Be part of our team, where patient success stories begin.

Apply today to join Woodlands and help others achieve their ultimate goals. Together, we can make a difference.
