The opportunity has arisen to grow and evolve our Physiotherapy service at West Suffolk Foundation Trust, Bury St Edmunds. We have an exciting prospect for a Band 6 Physiotherapy post within the Accredited Pulmonary Rehabilitation team. This could be a static or a rotational post for 1 year to cover a maternity leave. The Rotational post would be suitable for someone seeking to develop their physiotherapy clinical and leadership skills at Band 6 level in a wide range of specialities. You will benefit from working in a busy NHS Trust offering rotational experience in the following: Medicine, Community, ITU/Respiratory, Community Respiratory, Paediatrics (including MSK clinics), Neurology/Stroke, Orthopaedics and Early Intervention. Weekend working, evening clinics and emergency on-call working are integral to these rotations. Some of the rotations require seven-day rostering so you will need to be flexible to support this. Venues for delivering our services include outreach clinics, inpatient wards, patients' homes and community bases.
