An Exciting Opportunity for a Band 7 Clinical Specialist Physiotherapist in Stroke Care
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 7 Clinical Specialist Physiotherapist in Stroke Care, to join our comprehensive therapy team.
The stroke service is currently provided at the Kent and Canterbury Hospital and the current strategic plan is for the Stroke Service to move to a new build at the William Harvey Hospital in 2028.
For this post, we require your enthusiasm, motivation, and passion to help deliver a patient-focused service which is based on evidence with the patient at the core of every aspect of their own pathway. The post holder will be expected to contribute to the visions and values of our specialty and the Trust. They will not only work autonomously, managing their own caseload, but work as a team member ensuring timely communication and collaborative working across many services.
As part of the Stroke workforce development, we are looking to provide comprehensive Stroke rehabilitation across 7 days and the post holder will be expected to contribute to 7-day working.
Role Responsibilities
The role of the Clinical Specialist Physiotherapist is to provide information, support, and expert advice in the management of patients who have suffered a Stroke or other neurological conditions, from the time of diagnosis and throughout the disease spectrum and be an integral part of the multi-disciplinary team.
