Summary
Southend University Hospital is looking for a Band 5 physiotherapist to join our therapy teams.
As a department we provide strong Band 7 & 8a Physiotherapy leadership in all specialities to support new starters in a 6 month probationary programme offering a robust induction and helping them settle into our teams. We provide a training and competency structure for all equipment, on-call and weekend working to support staff development. We provide monthly rotation specific in-service training, regular accountability as well as offering a range of role specific training opportunities.
The rotations offered at Southend Hospital are:
• MSK Outpatients – including Hand therapy, general MSK & satellite clinics.
• Medical – including oncology & Frailty
• Admission Avoidance
• Surgical wards including amputees
• Elective and trauma Orthopaedics
• Stroke
• Critical Care and the Acute respiratory unit
• Paediatrics
• Community & Intermediate Care rotations including early supported discharge teams for stroke and orthopaedics
As a Trust we recognise the individual development needs of our staff and so offer static band 5 positions to support physiotherapists who have identified their ideal career pathway, as well as offering traditional rotational positions.
This post would suit a newly qualified or qualifying physiotherapist who is seeking to commence their career in a friendly and supportive environment.
The band 5 physiotherapist will have responsibility for assessing and treating their own caseload of patients and maintaining the associated records. As an autonomous practitioner they will be responsible for a defined area of the service or a particular patient type, delegating as appropriate to support workers.
Regular supervision is provided by experienced band 6 and 7 therapists and takes the form of formal training and clinical reasoning sessions, peer review, caseload discussion and formal clinical supervision sessions. The structure of the therapy teams at Southend ensures that there is always access to advice and support from a senior therapist.
The band 5 physiotherapist role involves active participation in the weekend/bank holiday working rotas and on-call service, once the required training has been competed.
Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is now one of the largest in the country, with a workforce of approximately 15,000 who serve a population of 1.2 million people.
We work together, and in conjunction with MSE Health and Care Partnership, to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients in a compassionate way, and provide a respectful, but vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.
From facilities through to consultant specialists we want to be the best, to achieve this we need to recruit not just those who are the finest in their field but also those who have the potential to be. Yes, experience is important but so is outlook – if you are dynamic, forward-thinking and enthusiastic we want you to join us.
We not only offer you a good working environment with flexible working opportunities, but also the opportunity to develop your career with access to appropriate training for your job and the support to succeed and progress
