Summary
Are you passionate about making a difference and improving lives? We're looking for an Band 4 Physiotherapy Technical Instructor to join our Barnet Integrated Learning Disability Service. Join a team dedicated to driving change and delivering excellent clinical care. As part of our integrated service, you'll work alongside a supportive multidisciplinary health and social care team.
Join our friendly and dynamic team, where you'll have the opportunity to utilize your knowledge, skills, and experience to promote quality care. Our caseload includes adults with learning disabilities and complex needs such as neuromuscular disorders, genetic syndromes, and mobility difficulties. You'll play a crucial role in providing postural management solutions, including wheelchairs, seating, sleep systems, and orthotics.
Your role will involve supporting Physiotherapists in providing equipment and exercise plans tailored to meet the specific needs of service users. Excellent communication skills are essential, as you'll be working with a diverse population, including many who communicate non-verbally. You'll also interact with carers and families to ensure all aspects of our users' lives are addressed. Proficiency in Microsoft Word is required for document production, and you'll need basic computer skills for notetaking and document storage. Don't worry if you're not experienced in these areas – training will be provided. A minimum of A-levels or NVQ Level 3 education is required, and experience working with individuals with learning disabilities is advantageous.
