Specialist Physiotherapist Calderdale Stroke Pathway

We’re excited to be recruiting to pilot a new role that will help shape the future of stroke care. This position will pioneer innovative ways of working to ensure our stroke patients experience truly seamless support — from their time in hospital right through to recovery s is your chance to shape the future of stroke services and make a real impact where it matters most.

The teams are multidisciplinary in nature and so the role will work alongside Occupational therapists, Speech and Language therapists, Dietitians, Specialist stroke nurses, and rehabilitation support staff.

The post will follow the patient’s journey from acute therapy areas, through discharge from hospital, into a suitable community setting supported by the ESD service. Therefore, due to the nature of the role the successful applicant would hold a full UK driving licence and have access to a vehicle. However, if this is not possible due to a disability defined by the Equality Act 2010 then reasonable adjustments would be considered.

The successful candidate will have experience in treating stroke patients and have specialist assessment and therapeutic handling skills that are transferrable across acute and community settings.

CHFT is an integrated Trust of 6,500+ colleagues providing hospital and community services to patients and communities across Calderdale and Kirklees. We are rated as ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission, are a top performing Trust for Elective Recovery, Emergency and Cancer Care and widely acknowledged as a national digital lead when it comes to caring for people across our local and regional systems.

Our people are at the core of everything we do, hence our commitment to One Culture of Care. Our focus is to care for and support each other in order to provide outstanding compassionate care to our patients. That is why we are looking for an inclusive collaborative, creative, innovative and compassionate leader to join us in this role.
