Registered Nurse - Agency

Avonfield is a 19-bed specialised neurological centre situated within tranquil grounds in the village of Knuston, Northamptonshire.

The aim of the service is to offer assessment, treatment, and active rehabilitation programmes to maximise autonomy and independence.

The team work to reduce the impacts of neuro-disability associated with the neurological condition or acquired brain injury. 

We are committed to providing the highest standard of neurological care and rehabilitation for a wide range of neurological conditions and symptoms.

We work closely with the person’s family and care team and recognise this is central to a long lasting and successful rehabilitation.

Some people we care for may also have co-morbid complex physical health needs and/or mental health problems.

The service model has been developed to support people who, because of their acquired brain injury or neurological condition, have complex behaviours including verbal or physical aggression, agitation or disinhibition requiring a neurobehavioural approach.
