We are seeking a dynamic and resourceful physiotherapist with specialist knowledge of surgery and amputees to lead our dedicated team of therapy staff working on the inpatient surgical wards and surgical assessment unit. The role will involve predominantly leading the service providing care to the inpatient surgical wards, supporting the assessment, management, and safe discharge planning for this client group. There will also be a responsibility to the in and out patient amputee service, so the ability to work flexibly across both areas is essential.
The successful candidate will be responsible for a team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and support workers providing care to patients admitted for planned and unplanned surgery. The role will also involve being part of the therapy Band 7 leadership team for the surgical & orthopaedic teams and working closely with our other inpatient teams.
The post also provides support to the amputee service at Southend Hospital, so previous experience with this patient group would be an advantage. The post will include a responsibility for weekend work as part of the acute weekend rota and on-call service.
We work together, and in conjunction with MSE Health and Care Partnership, to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients in a compassionate way, and provide a respectful, but vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate, and build careers.
From facilities through to consultant specialists, we want to be the best. To achieve this, we need to recruit not just those who are the finest in their field but also those who have the potential to be. Yes, experience is important, but so is outlook – if you are dynamic, forward-thinking, and enthusiastic, we want you to join us.
We offer a good working environment with flexible working opportunities, as well as the opportunity to develop your career with access to appropriate training for your job and the support to succeed and progress.
