Job description

We are excited to offer a fixed-term opportunity for a motivated Physiotherapist to join the Specialist Learning Disability team, currently covering Boston, Skegness, and Louth, although you may need to cover service-wide as needed.

This post provides the opportunity for someone with post qualification experience or newly qualified, who has an interest in working with adults with learning disabilities and complex health needs.

Within this role you will work as part of a well-established multi-disciplinary team, offering a range of specialist health interventions to people with a learning disability within their place of normal residence, respite and day care placements.

Please note the vacancy may close earlier than the original date.

You will support the provision of Physiotherapy for adults with Learning Disabilities across 3 core pathways: mental health, positive behaviour support and physical health.

The role includes clinical assessment, care planning and appropriate clinical decision-making skills. Being a compassionate, organised, team player with excellent communication skills and effective time management skills are key, as well as being accountable for your own caseload management and being able to identify physiotherapy interventions which you will joint work with staff within the team to deliver.

Enthusiasm and motivation are just as important as your experience for this role, as full training can be provided for a successful applicant with the relevant qualifications.

You could be part of a Trust rated by staff as one of the best mental health and learning disability trusts in England, in an area heralded as a fantastic place to live and work. We firmly believe the key to high quality care is a contented workforce. This is reflected in our Care Quality Commission rating of ‘outstanding’ for well-led and ‘good’ overall. In the most recent National NHS Staff Survey, our staff rated us as the number one trust nationally for staff morale and one of the top scoring NHS Trusts in the Midlands for being compassionate and inclusive. We’re really proud of this!

We are also leading the way in transforming care, with multi-million-pound transformation of patient environments and radical redesign of community services.

This is the time to join and help redesign our services of the future.

• We offer options for flexible working and provide a wide range of training and promotion opportunities in all professions.
• We support and celebrate diversity, have active staff networks groups and are always looking at what more we can do to support our staff.
