We have several exciting opportunities for B4 Advanced Therapy Technician posts, to join our large Therapy services department at University Hospital Southampton. Working on the acute wards, alongside Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, and other therapy support staff, the postholder will have their own caseload of patients and support proactive and timely discharges.

The work involves assessing and treating patients, preparing them for home, and includes manual handling, personal care of patients, and fitting of equipment. The hospital is a fast-paced environment requiring rapid assessment, treatment and discharge, where possible, of a variety of patient presentations. We are seeking to appoint dynamic, reliable and flexible Therapy Technicians who can work closely within our integrated therapy team and multidisciplinary teams.

Working as a Therapy Technician in UHS requires a flexible approach, excellent communications skills to work within our energetic and diverse teams. We are looking for a highly motivated, passionate, and organised individual who can help us provide patient centred care that we strive for.

You will work as part of a combined therapy services team delivering patient care across a 7-day service, including weekends and bank holidays, on a roster basis.

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
