Band 4 Physiotherapy Technical Instructor for the Perinatal Pelvic Health Service
37.5 hours per week / fulltime (part time considered)
We have an exciting position for an enthusiastic person who is passionate about providing physiotherapy for women as part of the Perinatal Pelvic Health Service. This role will combine clinical care with administrative support as part of the Multi-Disciplinary Team for this new and exciting service.
You will be part of the team providing expert and timely care to women through their antenatal and postnatal period. There will be close working with other members of the MDT to be able to complete this along with strong support from within the Physiotherapy profession.
Development of skills and knowledge within this post will be of a high priority. The successful candidate would be expected to undertake training and working with specialist staff to make maximum use of the opportunities on offer.
• Physiotherapy provides key therapeutic assessments and interventions to patients in order to promote independence and facilitate optimum function for individuals working with patients, families and carers and the multi-disciplinary team to achieve agreed outcomes for patients.
• The Technical Instructor will contribute to the provision of Physiotherapy within a specified clinical area. This includes identified clinical, administrative and educational roles.
• To carry a clinical caseload, the majority of which is non-routine, which has been delegated to them by the relevant team member who has delegation responsibilities for this task or a predetermined caseload within their scope of practice.
• To work to Therapy and UHL Service priorities.
• To work with patients, carers and their families in a sensitive and professional manner.
• To liaise with other professionals for the benefit of the patient.
• To work with and support those who have complex needs including physical, psychological and communication difficulties.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• Respected
• Included
• Supported
• Equipped
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
