We're looking for an ambitious individual, who will be a crucial part of the Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Physiotherapy Rotation. We have 30 rotations lasting six months each, which is an excellent platform to broaden your skills and knowledge across both acute and community services. Depending on the rotation, your working pattern may be Monday to Friday or across 7 days (on a rota). The post holder will be expected to participate in the on-call rota once competent. The Community rotations are mobile, requiring the ability to travel to multiple domiciliary visits daily whilst transporting equipment. The rotations may include:

• Intermediate Care

• Cardio-respiratory
• Elderly/frailty rehabilitation
• Variety of MSK outpatients settings (including Wrightington elective care, trauma and orthopaedics)
• Community REACT team
• Jean Heyes Rehabilitation Unit (JHRU)
• Paediatrics
Rotations are throughout Ashton, Wigan, Wrightington or Leigh areas. You will need to have the ability to travel independently as part of your daily role on Community rotation. The role will involve you working across all areas of the trust which includes those that are designated as positive, asymptomatic and negative covid areas.

The successful candidate must possess excellent communication skills and can bring relevant experience and knowledge to the post. The role involves providing a high standard Physiotherapy service to patients within the rotations. Applicants should possess excellent team working and communication skills; be able to work in an acute and community environment and be able to respond to changing priorities. In return we can offer a supportive environment working alongside senior Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapists and other members of our MDT.
