- Travel across the borough of Croydon is essential. You must hold a full UK driving licence and have access to your own vehicle for work purposes.
You will work closely with qualified therapy and nursing colleagues, following care plans to support service users with rehabilitation and functional tasks that promote recovery and day-to-day independence. This role suits someone who is friendly, reliable, is self-motivated and good at motivating others; with excellent interpersonal and communication skills and the ability to feed back progress in team meetings.
No specific qualification is required-just a genuine interest in healthcare, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to delivering high-quality therapeutic support.
Croydon Health Services NHS Trust provides hospital and community services from a network of community and specialist clinics across the borough.

· Our main site, Croydon University Hospital, is one of the busiest in London. Alongside this, we're leading the shift towards more care delivered closer to home-through intermediate care, clinics, specialist centres, and people's homes. Our district nursing teams, Allied Health Professionals and community matrons support people of all ages across Croydon.
Croydon is also one of the pioneer sites nationally for Neighbourhood working, making this a great time to join a Trust that's actively building more joined-up, local care.
