We have a fabulous opportunity for an enthusiastic and experienced Physiotherapist to join the mental health physiotherapy team for Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
This post would be suited to a Physiotherapist with a special interest in mental health, or those looking for a new opportunity to use their transferable skills from a different specialty.
Our community teams aim to improve the quality of life of those experiencing a mental health crisis, in relation to their diagnosis of dementia, depression, anxiety or other mental health problem. We aim to support rehabilitation of both mental and physical health.
We are a team made up of experienced Physiotherapists and assistants who work closely with various MDTs, such as Nurses, Specialist Support Workers, Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, and Psychiatrists. We promote non-pharmacological interventions wherever possible and have a holistic approach to patient care. This is an ideal environment for an innovative Physiotherapist to utilize their therapy-based assessment and care planning skills.
Work will involve seeing people on wards but also in their own homes. There will be a focus on promoting independence and also supporting carers.
