Senior Physiotherapist Carlisle & District ICC
North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a 12 month secondment for a dynamic Physiotherapist to join the Carlisle and District ICC, providing admission prevention, supported discharge, specialist assessment, and rehabilitation for patients with a wide range of long and short-term conditions. We work closely with our health and social care colleagues for care and advice, as well as working closely with Brampton Community Hospital to provide flow and discharge support.
The successful candidate will need to be motivated and able to demonstrate excellent assessment and communication skills as well as good team working.
The ICC currently offers a 7 day service with hours between 8am-8pm and our flexible shift patterns. Part-time applications are encouraged to apply.
Previous applicants need not apply.
Main duties of the job
Carlisle and District ICC demonstrates fantastic multidisciplinary team working by providing rehabilitation alongside rapid response care. You will work particularly with frailty patients, those who are at risk of or who have fallen, and for patients with long-term conditions.
You will need to have excellent communication skills, be able to demonstrate the ability to work in challenging environments, and be committed to working autonomously, providing evidence-based assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation.
This post offers the chance to develop clinical, supervisory, and managerial skills. We support the education of physiotherapy students from local universities, and you should be able to demonstrate commitment to your own and others' professional development.
We work closely with Commissioners, GPs, Acute Services, Community hospitals, CHOC, Cumbria County Council Adult Social Care, and third sector organisations. A key focus is to provide care in patients' own homes to prevent hospital admissions, facilitate early discharge, and where possible to enable patients to manage their own conditions and remain in their own homes, enhancing both their independence and quality of life.
Patients can be seen as in-patients (in Community Hospital beds or Interim Community beds) or in patients' own homes (including residential and nursing homes). The job will cover both areas with the main base being Hilltop Heights.
