Neurological patients are managed by a specific workforce, but exposure to this can also be arranged. This role will also provide some support for the physiotherapy activity within the Assessment and Rehabilitation Centre and Reablement services. This post will work closely with the wider Community Physiotherapy team across East Berkshire. To be successful in this position you will need the ability to work independently and as a team player and help to support the overall East Community Physiotherapy service alongside the other Community services Leads and Manager.
