We are excited to be advertising for a band 6 Specialist Physiotherapist rotation between Wythenshawe Hospital’s Older Persons Assessment and Liaison (OPAL) and Integrated Assessment Team (IAT), and South Manchester’s Community Response Services of Discharge to Assess (D2A) and Crisis response.

We are advertising for 1 permanent, full‑time position, and are looking for someone with exceptional generic assessment and therapeutic skills, who is motivated to deliver care of the highest quality through personal and professional development and collaborative multidisciplinary working. Applicants are required to hold a UK driving licence and have access to their own vehicle for business purposes.

• Wythenshawe Hospital’s OPAL/IAT
• South Manchester D2A Team
• South Manchester Crisis Response Team

The OPAL/IAT rotation delivers high‑quality care to patients across the Emergency Department, Acute Frailty Unit and the Acute Medical Unit. The aim is to improve outcomes for older patients living with frailty through proactive early assessment and management of complex comorbidities, preventing unnecessary hospital admissions, supporting early discharge and accessing appropriate community services. This rotation requires respiratory ward‑level competency.

The Crisis Response Team supports people with a health or social care crisis to stay at home and avoid unnecessary hospital admission. We provide same‑day assessment by our integrated, multidisciplinary team to make safe and stable decisions. We can support at home for 48 hours.

The Discharge to Assess Team supports timely assessment of patients at home at the point of discharge to identify health and social care needs that can be delivered in the community for up to 7 days. The team works from 8 am until 8 pm, 7 days per week.

Applicants should be highly motivated, enthusiastic and experienced clinicians. You will consolidate knowledge and develop clinical and non‑clinical skills within a supportive environment and be actively involved in the development of the service, supervision of junior staff and student education.
