We will also require a vaccination history or evidence of immunity. 

We will be screening and offering interviews as we receive applications and therefore strongly encourage applications as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

Due to the nature of the work involved, this role is exempt from the ROA and all job holders are required to undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service Check. 

We're looking for someone who is innovative and creative and who will be able to support the rehabilitation model, helping patients to live well while adapting to changing levels of function.

Be part of our team dedicated to giving the best care and support possible at this crucial time.

Working alongside 2 part-time Physiotherapist, 2 P/T Occupational therapists and 2 Rehab Assistant, you will be responsible for assessing and treating your own caseload of patients and for providing information and advice as appropriate to their families and or carers.  Your time will be split between the in-patient unit, patients’ home and day services.

You will need a minimum of 3 years post-graduate experience and be a good all-round communicator, able to deal with sensitive situations and participate in multi-disciplinary meetings. You will also need to be well-organised and thorough in order to plan your own workload and ensure the completion of comprehensive clinical records.
