We are seeking a senior physiotherapist with a passion for rehabilitation to help drive our intermediate care service and deliver a high standard of clinical interventions to patients in our intermediate care bed-based units across the Dudley Borough. The post holder will be responsible for assessing and treating patients with a wide range of clinical needs and conditions, including orthopaedic, neurological, medical and surgical, as well as frail elderly co-morbidities. The post holder is required to work as part of a large multidisciplinary team committed to delivering and improving high standards of therapy within Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust.
The post holder will work as part of the intermediate care pathway, providing effective and efficient physiotherapy to patients with a variety of physical conditions. Duties will include assessment, therapy (both group and/or individual as appropriate), developing tailored therapy programmes through to discharge, as well as appropriate delegation of work to assistants. The role requires working autonomously across various ICT units, using evidence-based and client-centred principles to assess, plan, treat, and evaluate interventions.
The post holder will be involved in service development, audit, and the development of junior staff.
At the Dudley Group, our patients and staff are at the heart of all that we do, and we aim to provide a world-class service that aligns with our vision of “excellent health care, improved health for all.” We seek to recruit staff who share our vision and values of making Dudley Group an incredible workplace.
We are committed to becoming a diverse and inclusive employer where people feel a sense of belonging. We positively encourage applications from under-represented groups such as ethnically diverse, disabled, and LGBTQ+ groups. We also welcome applications from male and non-binary backgrounds, as we are under-represented in terms of gender within nursing roles.
Dudley Group offers many opportunities for our staff to develop and grow within their roles through our Learning & OD department. These include topics such as communication, wellbeing, team development, cultural competency, and values, plus much more. For those in a Management/Leadership role, there are additional programmes to support you in developing the skills you need, including our Managers Essentials Programme and a Leadership Programme that all managers will attend as part of your Dudley Managers Induction.
