Band 6 Physiotherapist - Community Rehabilitation

Overview

A Vacancy at Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust.

The Community Independence Service in Kensington and Chelsea is looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Band 6 Physiotherapist to join our friendly Community Rehabilitation Team. You will be passionate about the value of community and rehabilitation, have clinical experience and be ready to step into a community role to further develop your clinical and non-clinical skills.

The community setting is THE PLACE TO BE with care being prioritised at home and patients being cared for in the community wherever possible. The Community Independence Service (CIS) is a provider partnership focused on hospital admission avoidance, facilitating early supported discharge, maximising independence and reducing dependency on longer term services. The CIS is part of a wider tri-borough service with teams in Hammersmith & Fulham and Westminster, and you will be connected with peers across the tri-borough to support service improvement and work with other CIS teams and acute partners such as Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and Chelsea & Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

You will enjoy the rewards of working with a client group for whom you can make a significant difference every day and you will be part of a supportive multi-agency effort including Medical, Mental Health, Nursing, Allied Health Professionals, Social care and Reablement staff.

• The Band 6 post holder will see clients newly discharged from hospital and use evidence-based, patient-centred principles to assess, plan and deliver individual treatment plans.
• Undertake all aspects of clinical duties as an autonomous practitioner, with supervision from senior therapists within CIS.
• Promote, maintain and develop a high-quality, efficient and effective physiotherapy service to clients in accordance with the team’s philosophy and operational policies.
• Develop skills in providing undergraduate placements to students where possible.
• Collaborate with colleagues across CIS teams and acute partners to support service improvement and integrated care.

CNWL offers opportunities for rotation both internally and externally. You will be supported to follow your clinical and leadership development priorities identified through your personal development and appraisal plan. We will equip you for mobile and flexible working and invite you to monthly professional and team in-service learning events. You will have access to a large catalogue of learning and development opportunities and a range of staff benefits and discounts, including season tickets, cycle to work schemes, and childcare vouchers where available.
