Physiotherapist à United States

Medicine Therapy Team - Preston Lodge.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Band 6 Physiotherapist to join the therapy team at the newly opened Preston Lodge (UHL) as part of the Phase 2 opening in November 2025.

Preston Lodge will be a 56-bedded reablement-focused unit providing the 3R model (rehabilitation, reablement, and recovery) for patients who are not yet ready to return home and have been referred for a D2A pathway from UHL. The aim is to improve patient care and experience and support faster discharges.

As a Band 6 Physiotherapist, you will join a team of Therapists (OTs, Physios, and TSWs) at Preston Lodge. You will demonstrate excellent communication, prioritization, and time management skills, working within a multidisciplinary team carrying out assessments and interventions for patients with complex cognitive and physical needs to facilitate safe and effective discharge. A wide range of clinical skills and knowledge of various conditions is essential for this role. Previous experience in rehabilitation or D2A settings would be highly beneficial.

You will receive regular supervision, appraisal, and be encouraged to participate in service development, audit, and research. You will be expected to support and supervise other staff and provide practice placements for students.

You will be part of the wider Medicine Therapy team that works across LRI and LGH. There may be times when you are asked to support therapy work on other UHL sites.

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We Have Four Primary Goals

• High-quality care for all,
• Being a great place to work,
• Partnerships for impact, and
• Research and education excellence

We will embed health equality in all we do—taking active steps to reduce avoidable healthcare disparities, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values, and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• We are compassionate,
• We are proud,
• We are inclusive, and
• We are one team

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we do well and where to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
