Are you looking to join a dedicated and caring team who support local patients when they need it the most?

We have a great opportunity for a Bank Physiotherapist to join our Patient Flow team to provide compassionate, person-centred, holistic rehabilitation services to palliative care patients. This is a key role that supports our patients, helping to improve their mobility, independence and quality of life both in an inpatient and community setting. You don’t need to have palliative care experience – we welcome applications from a range of clinical areas.

This role will cover:

• Undertaking holistic, special assessments of patients and develop dynamic treatment plans which focus on maximising function.
• Providing education and support to carers when planning for a patient to be transferred from the IPU to another location and be actively involved in developing treatments plans around self-management.
• Regularly attending MDT meetings, family meetings and case meetings to provide specialist advice.
• Keeping up to date patients notes and records in accordance with Hospice policy.

In order to fulfil this role, you will need to have:

• A recognised qualification in physiotherapy and be registered with the HCPC
• Experience of delivering group based and individual physiotherapy
• The ability to assess the needs of individuals and groups including the whole family in order to work with them as a unit
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written
• A flexible, supportive and calm approach to work

What we can offer you in return:

• Competitive salary
• A modern IPU with great facilities for patients and their families
• High staff to patient ratios
• Work at a Hospice that has research and campaigning at the forefront of its mission
• Free parking
• Great CPD opportunities

This is a bank position therefore shifts will be available on an ad hoc basis and will be to cover holiday/ sickness within the team.
