Job Overview
We are looking for a Physiotherapist to join our lively and supportive Community Learning Disability Service in beautiful East Sussex. This is a one-year fixed term post to cover a maternity leave. This role would ideally suit a practitioner with experience across a range of areas, with a desire to deliver a high-quality service to people with disabilities. The post holder will be based in Uckfield working with a caseload of adults with physical and learning disabilities.
Experience in learning disabilities is not essential but a broad range of skills in similar areas such as neurology, community rehabilitation, and/or paediatrics is required. Due to the specialist nature of the role and broad range of care pathways we offer, support and CPD will be provided to develop skills gaps.
By Joining Our Team, You Will Benefit From
- Strong supportive teams with dedicated supportive leaders
- Excellent CPD opportunities
- A service that works to develop clear evidence-based care pathways
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Main duties of the job
You will be supported by a Band 7 physiotherapist working alongside you to manage a varied caseload across a range of care pathways including, postural care, mobility and falls, respiratory and rehabilitation. As well as direct interventions, most of our physiotherapy is delivered by increasing the skills and competencies of people's support systems and working on long term prevention strategies.
Your work will involve being a role model within the Worthing multi-disciplinary team and you will have support from and work collaboratively within the physiotherapy professional group which spans the whole of Sussex.
You will be collaborating across services to deliver results. As an integrated team we work closely with colleagues in Social care, Primary Care, Children’s services and other specialist secondary services.
This is a great opportunity to use the skills you have developed across a broad range of care pathways working in the community.
