We have an exciting 12 month fixed term opportunity for a dynamic and enthusiastic Assistant Practitioner to join a friendly and forward thinking Outpatient Physiotherapy department.
This post is part time, 26 hours per week, and is based at our Jacketts Field, Abbots Langley site.
You will be working in a busy, friendly Outpatient Physiotherapy Department, where you will be supported by a Band 7/6 qualified Physiotherapist through a well-established supervision process.
Robust training support will be provided. We also offer in-service training opportunities and your existing experience will be further developed in both 1:1 and class/group based clinical activities.
Previous NHS experience is essential.
In addition, whilst very hard working, we are a sociable department committed to the health and wellbeing of our staff. We have a comprehensive Special Leave Policy, a Wellbeing Champion on site, Spiritual and pastoral support and links to Employee Assistance Programme(s).

You will be assessing, treating, progressing and discharging routine MSK patients – trauma and elective post-operative orthopaedic presentations.
You will be running group exercise sessions – for example TKR classes and lower limb classes.
You will also help support our qualified staff in joint treatment sessions, as and when appropriate.
With a new hospital planned for Watford and work underway to update theatres at St Albans City Hospital, this is an exciting time to join us.
We are building on the success of our award-winning virtual hospital and re-imagining models of care, working ever more closely with partners and making the most of advances in digital healthcare.
Staff wellbeing and development are a priority at our Trust, as is the role of innovation in improving clinical care, outcomes and patient experience.
Our vision is Excellent patient care, together and our values are to be empowered, compassionate, professional and inclusive. They capture an important balance across what we must all do as individuals and to support others.
We offer a variety of flexible working options as we recognise the importance of a good work life balance.
