Family Support Worker Vacancy at Matrix

"NHS clinicians struggle with what intervention to prioritise in paediatric neuro-rehabilitation due to limited clinical time and the complexity of needs. Children, clinicians, parents and schools all have different neuro-rehabilitation priorities"

"Parent-supported interventions after paediatric ABI bring reductions to the cost to society"

"Rehabilitation interventions can lead to positive outcomes for children and their families if delivered in the familiar home environment and applied to everyday situations"

"Strength-based family intervention after pediatric ABI is essential. Parents need to be equipped with the skills to cope and advocate for the child."

"Thousands of children and young people living in the UK today without the help and support that can make a huge difference to their lives"

"With support parents cope better so the child has a better recovery"

"We would like to see earlier identification and support for children with brain injuries to help them succeed in school."

"There are problems with getting people into neuro-rehab. Those most in need are often those most excluded due to a lack of socio-economic resources."

"When someone has a brain injury, early access to local, specialist rehabilitation is crucial to ensure the maximum recovery and make significant savings to the state in health costs"
