Physiotherapist

We are pleased to be able to offer this full-time Band 5 Physiotherapist role with the expectation of the successful candidate being able to progress to Band 6 upon completion of the Band 6 Senior Physiotherapist competencies. This may take 6 months to 2 years depending on your current experience and skills.

The Community Rehabilitation and Falls Service works with a diverse caseload of patients in need of rehabilitation following an acute illness or injury, as well as those with deteriorating conditions where the focus is maintaining function and independence. The service has a particular specialism in falls prevention and rehabilitation.

Working in this field is challenging in its diversity, but offers an opportunity to use and build skills in key areas such as Falls, Neuro, Frailty, and MSK. Supervision, support and training will be provided by Senior Physiotherapists within the team, as well as Senior Occupational Therapists, and our very experienced and capable Assistant Practitioners and an Administrator who will further support your development., The role involves providing physiotherapy assessment and intervention for rehabilitation, promoting independence, and falls prevention. With a varied caseload, you will need to evidence at application and interview that you have at least undergraduate experience in Neurology, MSK/Orthopaedics, and Health Care of the Elderly. Postgraduate experience would be an advantage.

You will work alongside colleagues within a multidisciplinary team to deliver exercise programmes, gait rehabilitation, provision of mobility aids, and falls prevention strategies. As the assessment and treatment takes place in patients own homes, you will need to be a car driver in order to carry out the role.

Experience of working in the community and as part of a multi-disciplinary team will be advantageous, and may mean that you are able to progress to a Band 6 role more quickly than if you do not have this experience at the point of application.
