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) but the majority of work is based in patients' own homes (including residential and nursing homes).
