An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist to join our Women's and Children's Physiotherapy Service in the Family Care Division due to the Perinatal Pelvic Health Service initiative.
Having gained experience in core clinical areas, this post will provide you with opportunities to further develop your practice within the field of pelvic health. The post holder will assess and treat MSk obstetric out-patients with occasional ward cover (maternity wards at Royal Bolton Hospital) as the service requires, and a gynaecology/urology caseload as skills are developed. The post holder will be based at Royal Bolton Hospital but will also be required to work in the community setting.
Working within multidisciplinary teams, you will be given the chance to enhance your clinical skills, contribute to student education, participate in the delivery of department-wide training, and develop supervisory skills of junior staff. Support and supervision will be offered by the Band 7 Clinical Specialist Physiotherapist and Team Leader.
We are looking for keen, enthusiastic, innovative, and flexible physiotherapists who are eager to develop and build on existing skills.

To assess and treat obstetric/gynaecology/urology patients within the Pelvic Health Physiotherapy Team, in a variety of settings, having gained valid informed consent for a diverse and complex range of pathologies. To use advanced clinical reasoning and problem-solving skills and advanced manual assessment techniques to provide an accurate diagnosis of a patient's condition and to formulate a specialised programme of care and comprehensive discharge plan. To provide health promotion advice to patients. To give an accurate prognosis and use a wide range of therapeutic techniques and advanced skills to deliver individual physiotherapy treatment programmes having agreed physiotherapy goals with patients and carers. To provide spontaneous and planned advice, teaching, and instruction to relatives, carers, and other professionals, to promote understanding of the aims of physiotherapy, and to ensure a consistent approach to patient care. To apply complex and advanced skills and knowledge in order to lead the professional competence and fitness to practise within the team. To communicate complex information effectively with patients, carers, physiotherapy colleagues, team members, and other agencies to progress rehabilitation and treatment programmes. This will include patients who may have difficulties in understanding or communicating.
