Job Description

About Us:

The Rehability UK Group is a dynamic and innovative family of companies driven by the vision of our founder. We have grown from a base in the West Midlands, where we still have our Head Office in Birmingham, to include services across the Midlands and in both the South East and South West of England and we are now expanding into Northern England. The Rehability UK Community division is focussed on the West Midlands and the M25 corridor.

We support over 600 adults across a range of settings and employ around 1200 people across the country. These figures are not static, as the Group continues to develop and open new services.

Rehability UK is a leading Specialist Healthcare provider for Mental Health, Learning Disability, Autism, Brain Injury Rehab and Children's Services. Our services and the people who work in them exist to help the people we support to live their best possible lives. They are at the heart of all we do, whether we are working directly with them or working the support teams, such as HR, training and finance.

Healthcare isn’t and shouldn’t be a box-ticking exercise. We do the things we do because they add value, practicality, and happiness to the lives of the people we care for.
