What will you learn?

Working with our Qualified Physiotherapist, you will be trained in carrying out falls prevention activities such as assessments, reducing the risks of falling and simple exercises that will improve mobility. You may visit people in their homes and show them the exercises and also talk about health and wellbeing steps to reduce the risk of falling. You may be working with surgeries to provide small group activities.

What is the Commitment?

We ask that you attend two training sessions and commit approximately 2 hours per week to supporting our service users.

What do we offer you?

This is a fantastic first step for those thinking of joining or already training for many fields such as Sports fitness, Physiotherapy, Health and Social care work, Ageing well fields, Hospital services and care work. However, this is also a great opportunity for anyone wanting to support older residents and make a difference.
