Summary
A Vacancy at Barking Havering and Redbridge Univ Hospitals NHS Trust.
Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals Trust are actively recruiting for a motivated and dynamic Band 6 Static Physiotherapist to join our expanding Integrated Therapies Team for the Medical Specialties and Oncology wards for a fixed term contract of 9 months.
We are looking for an individual who has a passion for acute medicine and who enjoys working in a fast-paced acute healthcare environment. We require an individual who can demonstrate excellent communication skills, strong leadership skills whilst also being confident to work as an autonomous practitioner. The focus is on early intervention and discharge planning to support high quality care; we are therefore seeking somebody who can demonstrate rapid and robust decision making skills. A big part of the role will be supporting innovation within our team.
Due to the nature of the patients on our wards, we are seeking an individual with a broad range of rotational experience. Working in a fast-paced environment, you will have the opportunity to expand your clinical skills and knowledge across our specialist areas, which include: Renal, Cardiology, Endocrine, Gastroenterology, Oncology and the Medical short stay unit. If you have the skills outlined above and want a rewarding opportunity where you will be encouraged to influence and develop services whilst being valued and supported, then apply today.
To perform advanced holistic physiotherapeutic assessment of patients with diverse presentations and complex physical and psychological conditions, to provide a clinical diagnosis and develop and deliver an individualised treatment plan
To hold responsibility for own case load and be responsible for a defined area of the service or a particular patient type, working without direct supervision. Access to advice and support from a Senior Physiotherapist is available as required. Supervision takes the form of regular informal/formal discussion and teaching, clinical reasoning sessions and peer review
To undertake all aspects of clinical duties as an autonomous practitioner
Supervise, educate and assess the performance of less experienced Physiotherapists and Assistants, this would be to a graduate standard and involve working with the Senior Physiotherapist, as required, to ensure the standards of practice of the department are met
Supervise, educate and assess the performance of Student Physiotherapists, this will involve working with the Senior Physiotherapist and universities as required, to ensure competencies are met
Undertake evidence-based departmental audit and research projects, in association with Senior Physiotherapists, to further own and teams clinical practice. Will make recommendations to clinical lead/manager of service for changes to practice by the team
Under the leadership of our Chair Jacqui Smith and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, we provide care for the residents of three of the most diverse London boroughs. More than half of our 7,500 strong workforce are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and most live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge. We also provide healthcare services to people in south west Essex, and specialist neurosciences services to the whole of the county.
Our services include all the major specialties of large acute hospitals, operating from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic, and Harold Wood Polyclinic. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London.
As we recover from Covid-19, we’re proud to be leading the way nationally in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need. The pandemic provided the drive for our teams to innovate and change.
We know we have more work to do to improve waiting times for urgent and emergency care, and our performance against the four-hour emergency access standard remains challenged, in comparison to many other London trusts.
We are particularly proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre; Radiotherapy Centre; Hyper Acute Stroke Unit; and dedicated breast care service at King George Hospital. We’re also pleased to be part of the NEL Cancer Alliance.
