An exciting opportunity to be part of an expanding team providing support and care to the patients registered at The Grange Practice.
In preparation for our anticipated new larger surgery, we are expanding our in-house clinical team to better care for our patients. The successful candidate will have the opportunity, alongside our existing ESP Physiotherapist, to have input into the new working environment and furnishings for staff and patients alike.
The role will be to provide support to our ESP Physiotherapist, supporting patients while they await community physiotherapy services, treatment with the ESP, management of long-term conditions, and rehabilitation.
As we do not hold an AQP contract for full courses of physiotherapy, at this time, the successful candidate would not be expected to provide long courses of treatment. There is an opportunity to develop this role with our ESP Physiotherapist.
This role is NOT an ARRS; you will be employed directly by the practice.
We are looking for someone with at least four years postgraduate experience, who must be experienced in all MSK and Orthopaedic areas and ideally neurological too.
Main duties of the job
* Assessment of all MSK conditions
* MSK diagnosis
* MSK treatment for patients while waiting for onward support
* Provide support and education to patients with long-term/chronic conditions so they can better manage their conditions
* Short-term rehabilitation for suitable patients
* Work in a primary care setting supporting other team members
* Clear communication and collaboration with the ESP Physiotherapist
* Effective communication with patients
* Administer a clear treatment pathway and follow-up for all patients on caseload
* Undertake self-directed learning
* Engage in CPD activities
* Attend clinical and team meetings held at the practice
Desirable skills include electrotherapy, manual therapy, and taping.
