Are you a dynamic and dedicated Physiotherapist seeking a rewarding opportunity? Look no further! We're currently seeking a highly skilled, driven Physiotherapist to join our Releasing Time to Care Review Team (RTTCRT).
As a Specialist Community Physiotherapist, you'll contribute to a paradigm that prioritises individual uniqueness and empowers patients to achieve optimal function and vitality. Our culture is built on collaboration, where your passion meets purpose, and your commitment becomes a catalyst shaping the rehabilitation narrative of our community.
Who are we?
We are an innovative, well-established integrated review team consisting of Occupational Therapists, Therapy Support Workers, and Social Workers. We strive to deliver the right support, at the right time, in the right place as close to home as possible and can't wait to welcome a Physiotherapist into this team - recognising the valuable expertise they would bring in regard to rehabilitation and maximising individual independence.
Often following a period of illness, injury, or disease progression, individuals require an increased level of care and support. As a RTTCRT, we want to support that individual during this period to recover and rehabilitate in their own homes and assess their needs ongoingly.
Main duties of the job
You would carry out a review assessment of the individual, with the aim of providing intervention and rehabilitation to improve function, reduce risk of de-conditioning, and improve the physical and psychological well-being of these individuals.
Following intervention, with support from the wider MDT in this team, you would proportionately assess and agree on what long-term support they require, optimising the individual's independent capacity to care for themselves and utilisation of specialist equipment before prescribing the least invasive package of care for the individual. Aiming to improve the lives of people who require support in the community and ensure prudent utilisation of our scarce caring resource.
As a versatile postgraduate, you will need to have a strong clinical grounding in older people rehabilitation, complex manual handling, and knowledge in diverse conditions.
Successful applicants will require an excellent ability to work autonomously, managing and prioritising a diverse caseload, have proven clinical reasoning/problem-solving skills, and provide comprehensive and professional interventions through the review assessment process. They will possess motivational and reassurance skills and be expected to support and play a role in supervising junior Physiotherapy staff, therapy support workers, and students.
