Summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced, enthusiastic and well-motivated Physiotherapist to join the Surgical Therapy team at Aintree.
You will be part of an innovative team providing care to patients admitted to Surgical wards following emergency surgery, including patients stepped down from the Critical Care environment, with complex respiratory and rehabilitation needs.

Additionally, they will have experience of participating on an on-call rota, and competent in all aspects of Respiratory Physiotherapy. They should be comfortable with working in a challenging, acute, fast paced environment.
You will get the opportunity to develop leadership skills by supporting less experienced members of the therapy team with training and formal supervision.
• Provide clinical assessment and treatment for complex Surgical patients including rehabilitation and respiratory components of care, and those requiring adjuncts such as Incentive Spirometry, NIV, VEST and Cough Assist.
• To support the delivery of training and development of junior members of staff to develop clinical skills.
• To support a busy team of Physios, OTs, TAs and APs alongside the existing Band 7 team, providing clinical and pastoral supervision.
• Contribute to inservice training programs
• To support Therapy lead and Band 7 team in performance monitoring and management of the team including regular data collection and information gathering to contribute to monthly care group reports
• To provide supervision and appraisal to bands 5-3
Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was created on 1 October 2019 following the merger of two adult acute Trusts, Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust.
The merger provides an opportunity to reconfigure services in a way that provides the best healthcare services to the city and improves the quality of care and health outcomes that patients experience.
The Trust runs Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital, Liverpool University Dental Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.
It serves a core population of around 630,000 people across Merseyside as well as providing a range of highly specialist services to a catchment area of more than two million people in the North West region and beyond.
