The post holder assumes responsibility for the day-to-day management of the clinical area, in the absence of the team leader.

- The post holder is supervised by a named therapist, who may not be present at all times. Clinical and professional supervision is in the form of regular clinical reasoning sessions, observed practice, peer review and formal training.

- The post holder will link with the Band 7 clinical lead therapist to support the use of resources within budget. The level of managerial responsibility involves the supervision and appraisal of junior therapists, support workers and undergraduates, with the support of the Band 7.

When performing on call duties, staff must be available on the ward within 45 minutes of the call. For staff living more than 45 minutes from the hospital, a designated on-call room for overnight stay is available in GRH and is free of charge. This room can be used by staff at both sites.

This is an excellent role for a Physiotherapist who would like to continue to develop their skills at band 6 level or for an experienced 5 with neurotherapy experience who would like to gain more experience and skills with patients who have a Neurological condition (such as GBS, MS, FND and Parkinsons).

The post holder will be enthusiastic and passionate about working in Neurology and acute Neuro rehabilitation.
