Cardiac Rehabilitation Assistant

An exciting opportunity has risen to join the Cardiac Rehabilitation team at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. We are seeking a full time Band 3 Cardiac Rehabilitation assistant for our services. We are looking for someone who has experience in health and social care with a keen interest in exercise training for health or fitness.

Cardiac Rehabilitation is delivered across 3 sites from Glenfield Hospital, Leicester General Hospital and the National Centre of Sports and Exercise Medicine (NCSEM) at Loughborough University as well as covering other non UHL sites within the Community. This person will be required to work flexibly across all sites and therefore a clean driving licence is desirable

You will be responsible for delivering essential patient care and reviews under the supervision of a qualified practitioner. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential. You will be an active member of the multi-disciplinary team composed of nurses, physiotherapists and exercise physiologists, supporting patients and promoting recovery through planned programmes of care with the aim of preventing unnecessary hospital admissions and facilitating patients’ effective self-management and rehabilitation.

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We Have Four Primary Goals

• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
