Looking for your first job?
Are you looking for a place to work that will offer you support and the opportunity to develop and embed your physio skills?
Come and work with us in Swadlincote where we have a well-established MDT and can give you the opportunity to see patients with a wide range of multi-pathologies in their own home and in a local bedded unit where we support patients discharged from hospital.
Our preceptorship programme has been running for many years and offers monthly protected time for education and support across multiple disciplines.
A network of Clinical Lead Physiotherapists provide day to day clinical support and development across the trust and our Professional Lead AHP ensures that AHP's have a clear voice across the organisation.
Main duties of the job
Our Integrated Community Services Teams are enthusiastic with a breadth of experience and a shared goal to offer the highest standard of care to our patients.
All team members are expected to carry their own clinical caseload, attend regular therapy meetings and undertake individual and joint therapy assessments and treatment sessions with members of the MDT where appropriate.
Rehabilitation is delivered to patients in their own homes with a focus on improving health and well-being, working toward patient-centred goals and preventing hospital admission or facilitating discharge home.
You will be able to develop your knowledge and experience around Falls and Frailty and supported to shadow other specialities to develop physiotherapy knowledge.
About us
Our purpose is to provide community health services to a patient population of over one million people in Derbyshire and Derby, as part of Joined Up Care Derbyshire.
