We are seeking an enthusiastic, experienced Physiotherapist with broad acute clinical expertise to cover maternity leave in our Multi-speciality Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) unit. Clinical areas include Geriatric Medicine, Frailty, Acute Medicine, Stroke, and Neuro.
Based mainly in SDEC, the role involves supporting daily in-reach into ED to facilitate SDEC pathways and the Therapy Lead Pathway (TLP). You will support service demands and work with therapy teams across ED, GAU, B3, and virtual wards, collaborating with MDT colleagues including OT, SLT, and therapy support workers. Working closely with senior leaders, you will ensure adherence to guidelines and evidence-based practice.
The role offers training opportunities, especially with Geriatric Medicine and Stroke teams, promoting clinical and professional autonomy. You will provide education to ED staff on the SDEC therapy service. NUH supports 7-day working; flexibility across weekdays and weekends, including on-call duties, is required, with training provided.
Key responsibilities include strong communication with MDTs, thorough assessments, risk-aware discharge planning, and involvement in audit and service evaluation. You will support a Band 4 support worker, developing leadership skills, and build relationships with community services to support complex discharges. You will also provide teaching across services, managing your own complex caseload and contributing to service improvement projects.
