Are you an experienced Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist looking for an exciting leadership opportunity?
We are seeking an experienced Therapy Clinical and Operational Lead to join the new Burren Intermediate Care Beds Service.
About the Role
The Burren is a newly commissioned service, currently funded for one year. This is a unique opportunity to play a central role in establishing the therapy service, developing the team and embedding effective rehabilitation pathways from the outset.
Responsibilities
Working as part of the service leadership team, you will provide professional, clinical and operational leadership for the therapy workforce. You will help shape a high-quality, responsive service that supports rehabilitation, recovery, safe discharge and effective patient flow across BNSSG.
The Burren Intermediate Care Beds Service provides a dedicated step-down pathway for people who no longer require acute hospital care but continue to need rehabilitation, recovery support, assessment and multidisciplinary discharge planning.
The service comprises 32 intermediate care beds, alongside an additional bariatric pathway. It works closely with acute hospitals, community services, local authority partners and voluntary sector organisations to promote independence, reduce unnecessary hospital stays and support safe and timely discharge. The service operates seven days a week, with an initial aim of providing therapy input six days a week.
