The Children's Therapies service provides Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Specialist Nurse Advisor and Care Coordination to children aged 0-19 within Kent Community NHS Foundation Trust (KCHFT).
Clinicians are responsible for managing a paediatric clinical caseload in the locality.
The Children's Therapies Services provide a high quality and cost-effective clinical service to children/young people and their families. In order to do this, clinicians are required to:
Work with key colleagues (i.e., education and health) in order to support multi-agency models of service delivery. Participate in reflective practice and ongoing learning to continually improve the service offered by Children's Therapies. Be committed to continually improving the patient experience by engaging in regular patient feedback mechanisms and encouraging service users to participate in shaping the service delivery. Work to the standards defined by the service clinical competencies. Care coordination is a service for babies and children (up to the age of 12) who present with an identified developing condition or disability which is impacting on, or has the potential to significantly impact upon their long-term development and/or function.
The responsibilities include: Coordinating care with other professionals and organizations. Providing information on local groups and other agencies. Supporting transitions into nursery and/or school. Running/supporting team around the child meetings to share information with other professionals involved in the child’s care and put together a family plan. Supporting referrals onto other agencies/services. Working with nurseries/schools, GPs, health visitors, doctors, preschools, and other health professionals, linking with other agencies involved in the child’s development. Participating in multi-disciplinary assessments with therapy colleagues. Supporting supervision and development of staff. Acting as lead and senior practitioner to support junior staff in carrying out assessments/reassessments of service users and/or pathways with complex needs across the relevant field. Developing integrated care programmes in partnership with senior practitioners and/or commissioners. Supporting and making recommendations to senior managers in order to prioritize and focus efforts to drive forward and achieve business objectives, service improvement strategies, and statutory requirements. Rated ‘outstanding’ by the CQC, we have a passion for delivering high standards of patient care and excellent services to improve the health of our communities. To do this, we need outstanding people who share our values: compassionate, aspirational, responsive, and excellent.
We know a commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion leads to better patient care and a happier workforce. We pride ourselves on being diverse and welcome applications from people with varied backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.
As a flexible working-friendly organization, we want you to work in a way that is best for us, for our patients, and for you. Talk to us about a flexible working arrangement that won’t involve sacrificing time for personal interests or family commitments. We’ll support you to work flexibly in a way that suits us both.
Good luck! We can’t wait to meet you and welcome you to #teamKCHFT, #cometocommunity.
