Do you want to help people get back to being independent following a period of illness or injury? If you are a qualified physiotherapist, then this could be the role you are looking for. The Joint Community Rehabilitation Service (JCR) is an integrated countywide domiciliary service delivered by Adult Social Care (ASC) and East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust (ESHT).

You will assess the client’s current function/needs and create and implement a tailored treatment plan to enable clients to regain independence and continue to live safely at home.
