Rehabilitation Support Worker - Llanelli

Why join us?

Brainkind is a charity that aims to improve the lives of people with brain injuries in the UK. Our assessment centres, rehabilitation units and hospitals use expert neurorehabilitation to support people to regain the skills they have lost. We treat people with a range of brain injuries – sustained through trauma, illness, substance abuse and more – to recover and meet their personal goals. Our employees are incredibly passionate about the jobs they do – you’ll find a strong team spirit across our services and amazing colleagues who always pull together and look out for each other.

The Role

We provide assessment and rehabilitation, continuing rehabilitation and a range of transitional living options to support those progressing to greater independence. When a service user is admitted to Ty Aberdafen they undergo an in-depth neurobehavioural assessment to determine their potential for social reintegration and increased independence.

You’ll get huge job satisfaction from seeing the people you are supporting do more for themselves and live the life they want to live. If you’re interested in building a career, we’re here to support you all the way on your own journey.
