EXCITING NEW COMMUNITY BASED ORTHOPAEDIC THERAPY TEAM!

These post offers a rewarding opportunity for people looking to provide high quality rehab to patients in a community setting, as well as gain or consolidate orthopaedic skills and knowledge. You will have support to develop your skills in service review, audit, and people management at the same time as delivering care to a complex patient group and influencing service redesign.
You will also be required to participate in a 7-day for the inpatient Orthopaedic service.
We are looking for innovative individuals who have exceptional communication skills and are driven to help make a difference to patients in their recovery from trauma. Successful candidates must have relevant clinical background and ability to integrate well into a multidisciplinary working environment.
If you would like to know more about this opportunity please contact: jenny.smith1@nhs.net
To provide skilled routine, and some non-routine, clinical and non-clinical support to the Therapy team.
To accept patient referrals to therapy service (in accordance referral criteria) and assess and treat according to protocols and guidelines, monitoring patient progression, making alterations to patient treatment programs as required, and discharging when appropriate.
To work independently within the community setting, frequently in isolation throughout the working day, without immediate access to supervision.
To maintain close communication with the Physiotherapist/team to facilitate patient care.
To provide clerical assistance to the team.
To contribute to the Therapy Assistant in‑service training programme.
To actively participate in team and departmental in-service training. Work alongside qualified therapist in the induction of new staff.
To carry out other duties deemed necessary by the Team Lead in discussion with the post holder to ensure adequate provision of service.
We provide care for the residents of three diverse London boroughs. Most of our 7,800 permanent staff live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. 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 and we operate from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London – more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Community Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic, and Harold Wood Polyclinic.
We’re pleased to be leading the way in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need. The Elective Surgical Hub at King George Hospital is one of eight to be accredited as part of a national scheme; the Care Quality Commission has raised the ratings for urgent and emergency care at Queen’s and King George hospitals; and data released by NHS England showed that the Trust was the most improved in 2023 for reducing waits for emergency care.
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 part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.
