Job description

We are seeking enthusiastic and passionate registered Physiotherapy candidates who are keen to consolidate and continue to develop their core Physiotherapy skills and practise.

The Band 5 Physiotherapy Rotation is Trust Wide and offers candidates the opportunity to work within Physical Health, in services across the Merseycare footprint, enabling opportunities within community and in‑patient provision. The rotations cover MSK, Community services, Intermediate care, Falls services, Respiratory, Neurology and Paediatrics.

As a valued member of the Physiotherapy workforce, training, CPD, supervision and preceptorship opportunities are available as standard to support you on your Physiotherapy career journey in order to develop holistic skill sets.

The successful post holders will join a varied and well‑established Band 5 Physiotherapy 6‑monthly rotational programme.

You will be using evidence‑based, patient‑centred principles to assess, plan, implement and evaluate interventions for the service user group.

The post holder will take a holistic approach in assessing and treating service users/patients, being responsible for the provision of appropriate, high‑quality Physiotherapy to a defined caseload.

You will work in partnership with other professionals as an integral member of the Physiotherapy team and wider MDT, supporting service users and their families and carers side‑by‑side.

Mersey Care is one of the largest trusts providing physical health and mental health services in the North West, serving more than 1.4 million people across our region. We offer specialist inpatient and community services that support physical and mental health, as well as learning disability, addiction and brain injury services.

At the heart of all we do is our commitment to ‘perfect care’ – care that is safe, effective, positively experienced, timely, equitable and efficient. We support our staff to do the best job they can and work alongside service users, their families, and carers to design and develop future services together. We’re currently delivering a programme of organisational and service transformation to significantly improve the quality of the services we provide and safely reduce cost as we do so.

Flexible working requests will be considered for all roles.
