The team provides Physiotherapy interventions for children and young people aged 0-19 with a variety of conditions. The post will involve working in one of the special schools in Bolton to support the delivery of physiotherapy intervention, including the use of specialist standing and walking equipment. The role includes carrying out Physiotherapy programmes with children and young people in various settings, including schools and patients' homes, as well as administrative duties to support the team.
Here at Bolton, our patients are at the heart of everything we do. We ensure our patients receive the highest quality of care and are guided by our trust values. We are proud that our Trust is a centre of excellence for maternity and children's services, with a new central delivery suite, special care, neonatal intensive care, and children's unit. This recognition reflects the patient experience and quality of care that our staff provide. It is also supported by our Nursing, Midwifery, and Allied Health Professional Framework for Professional Practice.
With this in mind, we are seeking to recruit staff who share the organisation's values and beliefs. Bolton Foundation Trust aims to ensure the wellbeing and development of all our staff and is committed to the continuous improvement of staff engagement initiatives. This is reflected in the NHS staff survey results, where for the fourth consecutive year, the Trust obtained the highest scores in Greater Manchester for the theme of Staff Engagement.
Bolton itself is a culturally diverse university town within easy motorway access of Manchester and surrounding areas.
We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic and motivated, with good organisational and communication skills, to join the team. The successful candidate must also be experienced in working with children with disabilities and parents/carers.
