Job description

Role Overview

This post is suitable for a newly qualified or returning to practice candidate who is looking to develop their knowledge and skills within a friendly and creative team.

Support is readily available and a supervision and CPD structure is in place and encouraged by HCT.

You will receive professional guidance and direction from senior Physiotherapists.

As part of your development, there are opportunities to experience colleagues working in a range of partner settings, and to develop your supervisory skills with Therapy Support Workers and students.

Key Responsibilities

It is also essential to hold a full valid driving licence and have access to a car to use regularly for business purposes (unless you have a disability as defined by the Equality Act 2010).

You will be required to complete electronic patient records (training provided).

Changes in national legislation require all health care workers entering Residential Care Homes to be double vaccinated. As this role involves providing care into Residential Care Homes all applicants will be asked to provide evidence of their vaccination status to ensure compliance.

The position is full time (37.5 hours per week) but in line with our flexible working approach we welcome applications for part time contracts. A seven day working pattern will be required to cover weekends and bank holidays on a rostered basis.
