Senior Community Physiotherapist - C9327-25-0170

Cheltenham

Job summary

Would you like to work as part of a dynamic, developing Integrated Community Team?

Across Gloucestershire we have had major investment in our Home First and Reablement Team and as a result of this we have an opportunity for a Band 6 Physiotherapist to join our Team and be a key part of developing our therapy led service in Cheltenham. Our Team is based in Cheltenham, and we work closely with the GP practices in the Primary Care Networks, alongside our Adult Social Care colleagues and voluntary and Independent sector organisations within the locality.

This is an exciting time to join our team, as we build on our existing services in order to support more people to live independently at home. If you have a passion for community work, rehabilitation and delivering personalised care, then we would love to hear from you.

We can offer you the opportunity to work in a very supportive integrated team, with access to training, regular supervision, annual appraisal and the autonomy to be a lead professional in our new service delivery.

Being a car driver is essential to the role.

Main duties of the job

In line with the Government hospital discharge and community support policy, and the discharge to assess model, our Home First service is a time-limited short-term assessment service for people in their own homes to facilitate rapid discharge from Acute and Community hospitals.

We also provide Reablement to patients in the community, to prevent hospital admission and to facilitate maximum independence, working on jointly agreed goals, promoting personalised care.

The qualification, training & experience requirements for the role are outlined in the Job Description/Person Specification.

About us

We have in excess of 5000 staff working over 50 sites, providing a diverse range of services. We strive to support an organisational culture that is welcoming, builds and celebrates inclusivity and diversity and provides a sense of belonging and trust.

The annual NHS Staff Surveygives our people the opportunity to tell us about their experience working at the Trust. For the 2023 survey just over 2800 colleagues gave us their views (58.5%). It was great to see from the results that colleagues are saying that:

• 89.7% believe they are making a positive difference to patients/service users;
• 73.3% would recommend the organisation as a place to work;
• 82.4% agree that care of patients and service users is the organisations priority;
• 76.7% would be happy with the standard of care for a friend or relative

Our results put us as 5th nationally as a Community, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities NHS Employer of Choice and 1st equal amongst all NHS Provider Trusts in the South West. However, we know we have more to do and will continue to drive forward our commitment to making GHC a Great Place to Work.
