The Medicine Therapy service in the University Hospitals of Leicester (UHL) has an exciting opportunity to work as a Therapy Support Worker currently based at University Hospitals of Leicester at Ashton (UAA) in Hinckley.
The vacancies we have are working within the Therapy team who are currently based at UAA in Hinckley.
The post-holders will work alongside both the Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists providing therapy interventions on the busy Reablement/Discharge to Assess Unit, supporting discharge from UHL and reducing deconditioning. You will be working with patients that have a variety of medical conditions.
The successful candidate needs to be able to work well alone and also as part of a team. They need to have good communication skills both verbally and non-verbally and have an understanding of Occupational Therapists and/or Physiotherapists roles. They need to be comfortable performing personal care tasks for patients.
The successful candidate will participate in local training to achieve all pertinent Support competencies within the first 6 months of employment into this role. We would expect the applicants to demonstrate understanding of Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy interventions.
We Have Four Primary Goals:
1. High-quality care for all,
2. Being a great place to work,
3. Partnerships for impact,
4. Research and education excellence.
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
1. We are compassionate,
2. We are proud,
3. We are inclusive,
4. We are one team.
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
