Responsibilities:
1. Manage your own complex caseload consisting of patients with a variety of different conditions.
2. Support junior members of the team.
3. Utilise advanced effective assessment skills to identify appropriate patients and to formulate, implement and evaluate individualised treatment and rehabilitation plans.
4. Ensure successful multidisciplinary approach to patient care through advanced communication skills.
5. Motivate patients to maximise their potential around rehabilitation or planning safe and effective discharges.
6. Participate in non-clinical duties such as team meetings, peer support groups, service development ideas, training and supervision of students and therapy assistant practitioners.
