Job description

A Vacancy at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust

University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.

We have received funding via NHSE to develop and pilot a high intensity, specialised MDT Hyper Acute Rehab pathway at UHS led by a Rehab consultant and AHP Lead for patients with complex rehab needs following major trauma or illness.

As part of this project, we have the exciting opportunity for a full AHP team to work together on a 12‑month secondment at UHS within the Hyper Acute Rehab team. These posts can be full‑time or part‑time and are open to any of the following qualified professionals with robust B6 or B7 postgraduate knowledge and experience in acute neuro‑rehabilitation.

We are looking to recruit a team encompassing all four professions within these senior posts to enable full AHP assessment and treatment of this cohort of complex patients, with a variety of diagnoses, including neurological and orthopaedic needs. The team will be led by an 8a Clinical Specialist and, as a B7, you will be expected to support them and deputise in their absence.

The team will be part of the wider neurosciences service, with close links to all the neurosciences and relevant clinical teams. You need to have flexibility in hours, supporting the team to deliver patient care across a 5‑day service, which may include bank holidays, on a roster basis.

University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.

Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast.

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI‑generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

At UHS we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.

At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti‑racist, anti‑discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
