Band 6 Senior Physiotherapist
CSH Surrey
This job is now closed
Job summary
We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated Physiotherapists to join our highly regarded Rapid Response Service, based at Woking Community Hospital. We provide responsive NHS community services, including the Urgent Community Response service, to patients across North West Surrey.
Although expected to work autonomously you will not be alone; you will be supported by the Physiotherapy Team Lead and Advanced Physiotherapy Matron. The team also includes Occupational Therapists, Nurses, Frailty Practitioners, Senior Community Rehabilitation Assistants and Administrators; and works closely with colleagues from GP practices, locality frailty hubs, adult social care and other community services.
As a key partner in the delivery of responsive services to support the frail population, the service is keen to support the development of team members to enhance their skills and broaden their scope of practice where appropriate.
Main duties of the job
Working as a member of the multi-disciplinary team you will undertake holistic assessments, clinical diagnosis, and treatment of patients in their own home, who may require crisis management and/or rehabilitation interventions in their own environment to prevent acute hospital admissions, to support complex hospital discharges and maximise their independence.
The role will include the triage and face to face assessment of patients on the Urgent Community Response, Falls and therapy pathways, and often the assessment and provision of equipment to support safe mobility and activities of daily living. As a result of your assessment, you may also arrange short term support provided by our Senior Community Rehab Assistants, and liaise with colleagues in local GP practices, locality frailty hubs, adult social care teams, and other community services.
The service also delivers a weekly Falls Group based at the Community Hospital to provide education and exercise to support patients to reduce their falls risk, and to encourage them to take an active role in managing their risk going forward.
