Our service provides a full range of posture and mobility services to Doncaster residents issuing a range of equipment from simple through to complex and bespoke options.

We are looking to recruit a band 6 to our clinical team. We welcome applications from occupational therapy and physiotherapy colleagues. The position could alternatively be fulfilled by a rehabilitation engineer, clinical scientist, or nurse with appropriate experience willing to develop their skills in this setting.

If you have existing, or transferrable, experience we would love to hear from you. Equally we have an established structured development path to support the right candidate from band 5 to band 6. We are also able to support return to practice if you are looking to regain your HCPC registration.

We are a multidisciplinary team with integrated workshop and logistics teams onsite. We work to deliver an innovative service across Doncaster. We complete holistic assessments, meeting commissioned mobility needs directly, and providing access, via personal wheelchair budgets, to equipment that meets lifestyle goals.

We are a relatively unique as an almost entirely ageless healthcare service. We work with anybody with a long term wheeled mobility need.

If you are proactive, and passionate, about a life well lived with a desire to learn, both clinically and technologically, we may well be the service you are looking to work in.

• Provide person centred and holistic assessments of clients mobility, postural and pressure care needs.
• Plan and organise own workload and support the work of others in the team, to provide a responsive service.
• Carry a caseload of clients eligible for NHS wheelchair provision. This could include simple manual provision, configurable lightweight or active user provision, powered wheelchairs, specialist buggies, postural management, and pressure care provision.
• Your caseload will be modified over time to reflect your development in post and you will enjoy a structured development path based around NWMF competencies.
• Assist in the operational management of the service and to participate in specific service developments relevant to the specialist area.
