Important Information for Applicants
To ensure clarity of accountability, scope of practice, and professional responsibilities, the Trust does not normally appoint individuals holding active NMC or HCPC registration into Band 2 Clinical/AHP Support Worker, Band 3 Senior Clinical/AHP Support Worker, or Band 4 AHP Support Worker/Technician roles. Registered nurses and Allied Health Professionals interested in joining UHNM are encouraged to explore our registered professional opportunities, which are advertised regularly across the Trust.
Role Overview
This role will involve working with a specific group of patients with a lifelong condition from birth through to adulthood. This is an opportunity to specialise in an exciting clinical area with scope for independent and multidisciplinary working both in the acute trust but also within the community. With advancements in CF management, the candidate must have knowledge of health promotion and exercise prescription along with an ability to instruct and educate, navigating potential barriers. Therefore, it is essential that the candidate has a high level of experience working in Therapies or an exercise environment.

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.
Strong communication skills will be essential as the role will involve booking appointments, recording clinical outcomes and inputting onto national registries, digital literacy skills, and highly developed verbal communication skills will be required to liaise directly with patients and their families.
Due to the outreach nature of the post with home visits and working across multiple sites, candidates must be able to drive to support the logistically running of the team to enable management of both paediatric and adult patients with CF. The candidate must work well in a wider multidisciplinary team to deliver high-quality care to a specialist cohort of patients. This innovative role allows the successful candidate to develop and grow alongside the changing needs of this group of patients. Supported by the national network of cystic fibrosis therapists and a regional team, this post will be integrated within a team of senior and Advanced physiotherapists.
Development Opportunities
Development opportunities will be supported for specific clinical knowledge. Supervision will be provided by the Band 7 Therapists and continuous development is supported through appraisal, internal training, and external learning.
