Job description
Job summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Physiotherapist to join our integrated inpatient therapy service as part of the Care of the Elderly therapy team, working cross site at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

The Therapy Team, consisting of Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists and Therapy Support workers, play a fundamental role in person-centered care, with a focus on therapy intervention to promote function and wellbeing, as well as safe and effective discharge planning and pathway decisions.

The successful candidate will have excellent communication skills, motivated to develop their own skills and that of the service, and provide high quality and evidence-based physiotherapy across the care of the elderly wards.

They will be motivated to deliver specialist knowledge, whilst developing and supporting colleagues alongside the demands of working in a busy acute hospital, supporting flow and positive risk taking. The successful candidate will need to have experience in managing and be able to take a lead in discharge planning, for both acute and complex patients.

They will form an integral part of the senior leadership team and can expect on-going support to further both personal and professional career development. The post holder would be required to contribute to the respiratory on call, weekend and extended hours rota.

Main duties of the job
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.
