Senior Physiotherapist - Hospital Outreach Support Team
The Physiotherapy department are looking to recruit a driven and ambitious experienced band 5 or existing band 6 therapist to work within our Hospital Outreach Support Team (HOST). HOST is a unique and highly regarded team of physiotherapists and occupational therapists, established to facilitate acute discharge from hospital and help reduce risk of readmission for complex patients. HOST accept referrals from all specialities and demographics, ensuring the caseload remains varied. This is a permanent, full-time position and the successful candidate will demonstrate excellent multidisciplinary team working, adaptable communication for complex patients, be able to problem solve autonomously and be innovative in their approach to complex patients. Benefits of the role include the opportunity to support patients on the pathway between the acute and community settings, to support the recovery of patients with a wide range of varied pathologies and functional abilities; close collaborative working with occupational therapy and community colleagues and experience with a wide variety of orthopaedic devices and adaptive aids. You must have experience within the NHS, preferably having completed rotations of the acute setting and also be a car driver/owner. There is a requirement for flexible working as the service currently covers a 7 day working week, including bank holidays, using a rostered system. Main duties of the job
By reviewing patients in their own homes immediately following discharge, HOST provide short term patient centred rehabilitation, adaptive aids and advice to maximise opportunity for patients to reach their functional potential and remain safely at home. In addition, HOST also support patients on discharge with management of a variety of orthopaedic devices, including cervical collars and upper and lower limb braces. About us
