Rehabilitation Assistant (Occupational Therapy / Physiotherapy) NHS AfC: Band 3 Welcome to Queen Victoria Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and thank you for your interest.
A rare opportunity has arisen within the QVH therapy team based from our recently refurbished Rehabilitation Unit onsite at QVH. You will treat a caseload of patients as outpatients attending the unit, in classes but this role includes delivery of rehabilitative therapy within the patients' residence. The majority of the caseload is a mixture of frailty patients or those with chronic conditions including falls patients. A smaller portion of the caseload also includes those with neurological disorders and anxiety.

Main duties of the job This role will enable you to use your own initiative whilst under the direct or distant supervision of qualified Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists. You will also have opportunities to help with service improvement projects including audits and implementation of new ideas. We pride ourselves on sharing knowledge between professionals and working closely as a team.
