Assistive Technologist / Trainer - Cardiff 14 hours per week Every four hours, someone is paralysed by a spinal cord injury. Many of those who are injured will lose the ability to access standard computer and phone technology. The Aspire Assistive Technology Programme gives them back that independence. This role will build on the work already being carried out by our staff, volunteers and the NHS team and will ensure that patients going through their rehabilitation can work with a dedicated member of Aspire staff who will help them access computers, tablets and phones. This post will work closely with patients and the NHS teams; excellent communication skills, an ability to build relationships with people from diverse backgrounds and the confidence to work autonomously are essential. The role is based primarily at the Spinal Injury Centre in Cardiff, but will also require some travel to other locations in the region from time to time. You will probably already have experience of Assistive Technology, either as a trainer or user, and have a desire to use this knowledge to improve people's independence.
