Are you enthusiastic about supporting others? Do you strive to promote independence and engagement? If you are passionate about patient care and recovery, this may be the role for you.
This post is for a Band 3 Therapy Technician at UHCW NHS Trust. The role is rotational within the inpatient therapy teams at the Coventry site, with one‑year rotations in Stroke, Care of the Elderly, Neurosciences and Surgery teams.
The role involves working collaboratively with Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and fellow therapy support workers across inpatient settings, supporting patients in their journey through the Acute Trust, focusing on optimising recovery through rehabilitation, preventing deconditioning and supporting timely discharges.
Responsibilities

Only undertake tasks that they have been trained to carry out.

* Adhere to codes of practice, clinical procedures and professional standards.
