Job description

We are looking for a suitably experienced Physiotherapist to join our well established Band 6 Respiratory Rotation. The rotation has been developed fo...

  • Applicants should be Chartered Physiotherapists with HCPC registration, have experience as a Physiotherapist in the NHS in a rotational post providing a broad range of experience across the core areas of physiotherapy, including respiratory and be able to provide evidence of a commitment to CPD.
  • Good time management and organisational skills and the ability to work under pressure are also essential requirements of this post.
  • There is an on-call commitment with this post and you will be required to work on a rota pattern to support seven day working.

  • To provide a high standard of physiotherapy care to a complex patient group on each rotation.
  • To participate in the Senior Physiotherapy respiratory rotational scheme, which involves working across the Trust in a range of clinical settings some of which are regional specialities.
  • Senior rotational posts are designed to consolidate and build on skills and academic knowledge gained during the first two years post graduation allowing the physiotherapist an opportunity to spend longer in specific areas of work enabling further development of more specialist clinical and managerial competencies.

As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us and for our patients, and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement. If it works for the service, we will do our best to make it work for you.
