Therapy Associate Practitioner

The Therapy Department at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust is a diverse, friendly and supportive service, bringing together Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Speech and Language Therapists, alongside a growing team of highly skilled and valued Therapy Support Workers.

We are delighted to offer exciting opportunities for Therapy Associate Practitioners to join our inpatient teams across the hospital, working within both the Urgent Care Therapy Team and the Medical Therapy Team.

You will work with colleagues across the hospital to support a diverse caseload of patients with assessment, treatment and planning of their care. You will also develop care plans for your patients to help them when they go home.

We are looking for enthusiastic and caring people who have a strong desire to learn, grow and improve to support our patients, the department, and the hospital. You will be supported by colleagues including other Therapy Support Workers and registered therapists and will also have the opportunity to help others, including students to gain insight into the department and it's function.

You will work closely with your colleagues across the Therapy department and have opportunities for future development in a variety of ways.

Are you passionate about patient rehabilitation and helping people regain their independence? Do you enjoy working both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team? Are you committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care?
