An exciting opportunity has arisen in a community rehabilitation team for a Band 6 Physiotherapist to join a supportive and enthusiastic community therapy service. The role involves working across the community, delivering rehabilitation in patients' own homes following discharge from an acute bed, or supporting long-term condition management.
The team comprises qualified physiotherapists, assistant practitioners, and assistant therapy staff who work closely with the wider MDT and INT teams in the community.
You will work with patients with a wide variety of conditions and disabilities in their homes and local community. Responsibilities include assessment, intervention, discharge of a caseload of patients, supervising staff, and providing support and expertise to team members.
We offer a comprehensive training programme within a supportive team environment. The service operates five days a week, Monday to Friday. Part-time working is considered, and secondments are encouraged—please ensure you have your manager's approval before applying.
The post holder is an autonomous practitioner responsible for specialised assessment and treatment of patients referred to the service. You will manage a caseload of patients with complex conditions, including long-term management and hospital discharges. You will see patients in their homes, collaborate with MDTs, and carry out specialist assessments, treatments, and equipment prescriptions as part of therapeutic interventions.
You will play an important role in liaising with PCN and MDT teams by attending meetings as part of neighbourhood team working.
East Lancashire Hospitals Trust aims to be recognized for providing safe, personal, and effective care. We serve over 600,000 people across East Lancashire and the surrounding areas, employing over 7,000 staff, many of whom are internationally renowned and award-winning.
