More detail about the role

We believe that everyone should have access to excellent bladder and bowel care, and our service promotes this with holistic assessment and a wide range of treatment options. Our Pelvic Health Physiotherapists are responsible for a varied caseload which includes pelvic floor dysfunctions, and patients from Urology, Gynaecology and Colorectal specialties.

As a specialist clinician you will be actively involved in managing your own clinical caseload. You will be encouraged to take part in education and training events both locally and nationally to develop your own knowledge base and professional development. You will also have scope to provide education to a wide group of people with opportunities to be creative in the way this is delivered.

Previous experience is desirable; however, we are interested in applications from enthusiastic clinicians who wish to develop specialist knowledge and skills in this area and provide person-centred care within a Multidisciplinary team context. Afull induction programme will be provided.

This is a community-based post but will be primarily based to support the Exeter and East Devon area. Therefore, you will be required to drive between clinics and to participate in wider team activities within the Trust both in person and through MS Teams events.

You will provide compassionate care and act as a role model to others within each service, plus support Clinical Leads to provide an integrated, outstanding quality service.

The Bladder & Bowel Service is also responsible for a large home delivery service for incontinence products, and you will be required to guide Community Nurses and wider service users to make clinically sound decisions regarding pad use, while assisting the Operations Manager and Clinical Lead to maintain an economically secure service.
