Physiotherapist – Trafford Crisis Response Team

·
Full time
We are looking for an experienced and motivated static B6 Physiotherapist to join our supportive, dynamic Crisis Response Team in Trafford.

The Crisis Team is part of South Manchester Community Response Service which also includes Discharge to Assess and Community IV team. This is an exciting time to be part of our integrated multi-disciplinary and multi-agency team providing specialist rapid assessment and interventions to our local population. Our progressive working environment manages crisis on a daily basis, providing a 7-day, extended hours, urgent and timely response to referrals from community and acute colleagues, and directly from the North West Ambulance Service (NWAS). As a member of the Crisis Response Team you will work closely with highly trained advanced clinical practitioners as well as the wider MDT, supporting service users to be treated in the community.

Rapid assessment and community intervention from Crisis Response helps to support adults for up to 48 hours with health or social care needs at home, and preventing unnecessary A&E attendances. Your clinical skillset will contribute to people being able to remain safely and supported in their own homes.

Please be aware you must hold a valid UK driving licence and have daily access to a car to apply for this role.
