As a band 8a Physiotherapy lead, it is anticipated that you would work at an advanced clinical level and thus manage patients that may require more specialist MSK assessment, investigations, and onward referral. There is an opportunity to collaborate and lead in pathway development and quality improvement programs with key stakeholders, and you will be able to directly influence the strategic direction of the services.
You will provide direct clinical supervision to the band 7s within your own specialist professional field and will have line management responsibility for Allied Health Professionals and support staff spanning the multidisciplinary team. You will be supported and appraised by the Newham Head of Therapies.
The service supports in-service training along with a robust personal development review programme to support staff with their learning and development. There is access to training provided across the trust’s wider outpatient musculoskeletal service and support for postgraduate training.
Barts Health is one of the largest NHS trusts in the country and one of Britain’s leading healthcare providers. The Barts Health group of NHS hospitals is entering an exciting new era on our improvement journey to becoming an outstanding organisation with a world-class clinical reputation. Having lifted ourselves out of special measures, we now have the impetus and breathing space to chart a fresh course in which we are continually striving to improve all our services for patients.
Our vision is to be a high-performing group of NHS hospitals, renowned for excellence and innovation, and providing safe and compassionate care to our patients in east London and beyond. That means being a provider of excellent patient safety, known for delivering consistently high standards of harm-free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time. It also means being an outstanding place to work, in which our WeCare values and behaviours are visible to all and guide us in how we work together.
We strive to live by our WeCare values and are committed to promoting inclusion, where every staff member has a sense of belonging. We value our differences and fully advocate, cultivate and support an inclusive working environment. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic candidates as they are underrepresented within Barts Health at this band.
