Here in the Discharge to Assess Pathway 1 Team we have fantastic opportunities for Assistant Practitioners looking for the next step in their career in one of our 4 teams (Boston/Spalding, Sleaford/Grantham, Lincoln/Gainsborough & Horncastle/Skegness).
We have 4 small friendly teams across Lincolnshire comprising of Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Nurses, Pharmacy Technicians, Lead Assistant Practitioners, Promoting Independence Therapy Assistants and Promoting Independence Care Assistants.
In our Pathway 1 Team, we follow the patient home and see them within 2 hours of their discharge. We listen to the patient about what matters most to them regarding their personal and social circumstances, their physical, mental and emotional health, and their carer’s needs. This will include exercise programmes for their physical and mental wellbeing, recommending and providing the correct equipment, proactive work with patients to encourage independent living, educating patients on self-management of their health and wellbeing such as understanding frailty symptoms and the importance of staying well physically and mentally for falls prevention, and so much more.

Flexible working opportunities such as part-time working, compressed hours, job shares, and hybrid working models can help staff to balance their personal and work commitments. Arrangements can be put in place if it can be shown that the needs of the individual can be balanced with those of the service and the impact on other team members. We are an ambassador of a learning culture that will support the right individual to progress in their chosen career through an ‘earn while you learn’ apprenticeship programme.

We are a growing team and looking for enthusiastic, friendly, and proactive Assistant Practitioners to support our service delivery of high quality and efficient therapy and care.
