Job Overview
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A NEW CHALLENGE?
We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Physiotherapist to join our Band 5 Community Rotation. There are various rotations which include the Community Rehabilitation Team, Community Stroke Team, Home Pathway Service, and Intermediate Care Unit. Other rotations may also be available.
The teams are led by highly skilled Physiotherapists who are looking forward to welcoming you to the teams. We offer a supportive induction, supervision, and a preceptorship programme for newly qualified staff.
The successful candidate will be required to work varying shift patterns dependent on which rotation they are on. This includes weekend working for which staff are paid an enhanced rate.
Main Duties of the Job
Your role will involve working in the community with domiciliary service users and on our Intermediate Care Unit. Working flexibly between Health and Social Care, you will provide specialist assessments and treatment within the community and at our Intermediate Care Unit. You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team in providing holistic assessment to all people referred. You will assist and support professional and service development and be proactive in the setting of standards and monitoring outcomes for best service delivery.
Working for Our Organisation
MFT is one of the largest NHS Trusts in England with a turnover of £2.8bn and is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health and social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.
Bringing together 10 hospitals and community services from across Manchester, Trafford, and beyond, we champion collaborative working and transformation, encouraging our 30,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.
We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient and staff experience, operational effectiveness, and driving research and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our Electronic Patient Record system which launched in September 2022.
We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre and Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our Green Plan which sets out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.
At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open, and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.
