Job Overview
Do you have the ability to deliver high quality compassionate care and think you will be the right person to join our team which is already proven to make a difference? We have a great opportunity for a full time Band 3 Therapy Technical Instructor to provide Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy interventions to patients within our Home First and Community Therapy Service.
The service brings together an integrated health and social care offer delivered by community-based nursing, therapy and adult social care teams and will allow you to use your therapy skills to:
- Support people to remain in their homes when they are having a health or social care crisis, rather than needing to go into hospital or a care home.
- Help people get home from hospital quickly and provide them with rehabilitation and reablement to help restore their health, wellbeing and independence.
- Deliver high quality core therapy reablement, rehabilitation and recovery to people within their own home.
This post requires a level of personal responsibility and we are looking for someone highly motivated, resilient and proactive with the ability to prioritise and manage their own allocated work, use their initiative and the ability to work on their own and as part of a team.
You will demonstrate excellent communication and organisational skills and be able to adapt to a changing and pressurised environment.
As a service we operate Monday to Friday 8am-6pm and Saturday/Sunday/Bank holidays 8am-4pm. Hours/days worked are based on a rota system.
We recognise the need to develop modern working practices to enable employees to maximise their performance and productivity whilst maintaining a good work life balance. To this aim the Trust has adopted an agile working methodology as outlined within the Trust Agile working Policy.
