An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dynamic and enthusiastic Band 6 Physiotherapist to join the Specialist Weight Management Team at Aintree Hospital. We are a highly specialist Tier 3 Service treating and managing people living with obesity across Liverpool and surrounding areas.
The service is led by Professor John Wilding and you will be joined by a committed team of consultants, GPs, physiotherapists, dietitians, an occupational therapist, assistant practitioners, and administrators.
Working closely with members of the MDT, the post holder will be responsible for delivering a specialist physiotherapy service to patients living with obesity and obesity-related conditions.
The successful candidate will provide specialist assessment and treatment for individuals with complex obesity in an outpatient service across both hospital and community sites (both in face-to-face and virtual settings).
Assessment and treatment will be in the form of 1:1 and joint clinics (with a dietitian), group-based programmes, as well as referral to and liaison with local public health initiatives.
You will work alongside patients to manage their weight with conservative approaches, in addition to supporting patients wishing to pursue bariatric surgery.
The role offers the opportunity to blend a wide range of physiotherapy skills, well-being interventions, and behaviour change in a holistic manner. You will participate in service development and be part of the full MDT approach to patient care.
