We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated Band 7 therapist to join the team, with excellent communication skills and a positive approach to the management of complex spasticity.
The post holder will work closely with the Lead Physiotherapist and Occupational Therapist and the wider spasticity MDT Team across both boroughs. You need to be a confident autonomous practitioner with high level leadership and communication skills, a flexible problem-solving approach, good clinical reasoning skills, and be efficient in your time and people management. The role offers opportunities to develop expertise in assessing and treating spasticity and other complex conditions, alongside regular supervision, support for professional development, and involvement in research and audit projects. We are an innovative team who are a passionate about the specialist service we provide offering skilled development in both stroke and long terms conditions.
To provide advanced specialist spasticity management input to clients as part of the specialist Community Neurorehabilitation service.
The role involves offering clinical leadership alongside the Clinical Lead Therapists for the daily operations within the specialist Community Neurorehabilitation service, with a commitment to ensuring exceptional standards of practice. This also entails supervising and supporting junior team members and students.
Additionally, you will assist the Team Manager in developing and overseeing a comprehensive clinical governance framework for the service.
Our services are delivered in the most appropriate setting for each person’s current needs—this may be their home, a day centre, clinic, or our dedicated outpatient gym.
It is also essential that you hold a full UK driving license and preferably have access to a suitable vehicle for business purposes, although Oxleas offers a Lease Car Scheme to all substantive employees.
Oxleas offers a wide range of NHS healthcare services to people in community and secure environment settings. Our services include community health care such as district nursing and speech and language therapy, care for people with learning disabilities and mental health care such as psychiatry, nursing and therapies. Our multidisciplinary teams look after people of all ages and we work in close partnership with other parts of the NHS, local councils and the voluntary sector and through our new provider collaboratives. Our 4,300 members of staff work in many different settings including hospitals, clinics, prisons, secure hospitals, children’s centres, schools and people’s homes.
We have over 125 sites in a variety of locations in the South of England. In London we operate within the Boroughs of Bexley, Bromley Greenwich and into Kent. We manage hospital sites including Queen Mary’s Hospital, Sidcup and Memorial Hospital, Woolwich, as well as the Bracton Centre, our medium secure unit for people with mental health needs. We are the largest NHS provider of prison health services providing healthcare to prisons within Devon, Dorset, Bristol, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, Kent and South London. We are proud of the care we provide and our people.
Our purpose is to improve lives by providing the best possible care to our patients and their families. This is strengthened by our new values:
• We’re Kind
• We’re Fair
• We Listen
• We Care
• To be able to work alone in the community in a variety of settings, independent of multi-disciplinary support whilst in direct contact with clients and their carers.
• To provide clinical leadership in partnership with the professional leads into the day-to-day delivery of spasticity management within the Community Neurorehabilitation service, ensuring the highest possible standards of practice.
• To ensure that quality standards relating to spasticity management and neurorehabilitation are continually monitored and improved.
