Are you a recently qualified physiotherapist with a passion for holistic care?
We have a career opportunity for someone who is keen to work in a diverse specialist area. You will combine your physiotherapeutic skills with the desire to learn and develop the expertise to work with those experiencing Severe Mental Illness (SMI).
Our work is both challenging and rewarding with every day presenting different opportunities. You will be supported by an established team of specialist clinicians to deliver evidence based, person centred care, where you’ll be central to service users’ recovery journeys.
You’ll be working with individuals with SMI so we need to see clearly from your application that you have a good understanding of what this may involve. It would also be helpful to hear how your NHS placements have influenced your interest to work in this field.
Main Duties and Responsibilities
- To provide effective physiotherapeutic assessment and intervention and evaluation relating to physical and mental health and working with both individuals and groups in a variety of settings.
- To ensure that client treatment is constantly reviewed and adapted to changing needs.
- To work both autonomously and as part of the wider multidisciplinary team.
- To maintain strict confidentiality and respect the individual rights of clients at all times.
- To take an active part in clients' Support Conversations and Personal Wellbeing Plans (PWP).
- To advise on matters relating to physiotherapy, practical management and health promotion.
- To contribute to the risk assessment process as part of the PWP.
- To be responsible for identifying issues regarding the safeguarding of others who may be at risk, and reporting all such concerns in accordance with Trust safeguarding procedures.
