We have a wonderful opportunity for a Neuropsychologist / Clinical Psychologist with Neuro experience (Experience equivalent to Band 8b) to join our fantastic team at our Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centre in South East London; an established provider of specialist inpatient rehabilitation for individuals with an acquired brain injury or other complex neurological conditions.

We focus on the use of clinical expertise, innovation, and technology to meet patient's expectations of rehabilitation goals.

We work across 2 wards

Level 1 Regional Specialist Rehabilitation

This regionally renowned service is for people with complex cognitive and /or behavioural problems following a brain injury or because of a neurological condition. They have complex nursing and therapy needs requiring input from a highly specialist Inter-Disciplinary Team, and treatment facilities unlikely to be available locally.

Patients are usually in the very early stages of recovery from their brain injury and are usually admitted from an acute hospital once they are medically stable.

Level 2 Specialist Rehabilitation

This service is suitable for people who require specialist inpatient rehabilitation and have ongoing physical therapy needs.

Our team work closely together to ensure that every team member is working towards the same practical, realistic goals and that all therapies are focused on the areas that will enable patients to achieve those clearly defined and agreed goals.

Our team includes qualified nurses (RMN and RGNs), Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Clinical Psychologists, Social Workers and sessional visits from a Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine and a weekly GP ward round. The clinical team are fully supported by rehabilitation assistants and technicians, administrators, housekeeping and catering staff and a maintenance team.
