Community Physiotherapist | Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust

Are you looking for a place to work that will offer you support and the opportunity to develop and embed your physio skills?

Come and work with us in Swadlincote Integrated Community Team where we have a well-established MDT and can give you the opportunity to see patients with a wide range of multi-pathologies.

The therapy team is comprised of Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Support Workers who work closely with the wider multi-disciplinary team to provide rehabilitation to patients in their own home.

This post is an excellent opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge working within supportive environments with access to a preceptorship programme.

If you can demonstrate good communication skills, have the ability to plan and organise, effective, evidence-based care we want to hear from you.

Please note: You must haveaccess to a vehicle which can be used for work purposes or be able to travel as required to meet the needs of the service. Not all office locations or client care bases maybe reached by public transport.

Our Integrated Community Services Teams are enthusiastic with a breadth of experience and a shared goal to offer the highest standard of care to our patients.

All team members are expected to carry their own clinical caseload, attend regular therapy meetings and undertake individual and joint therapy assessments and treatment sessions with members of the MDT where appropriate. Previous post qualification experience is desirable but not essential.

Rehabilitation is delivered to patients in their own homes with a focus on improving health and well-being, working toward patient-centred goals and preventing hospital admission or facilitating discharge home.

You will be able to develop your knowledge and experience around Falls and Frailty and Triage.

Our purpose is to provide community health services to a patient population of over one million people in Derbyshire and Derby, as part of Joined Up Care Derbyshire.
