Services are county wide across Lincolnshire and base dependant upon each rotation. The first rotation for these 2 posts will likely sit within Adult community therapy

The teams offer specialist holistic therapy assessments and intervention with the aim of maximising function and independence and therefore reducing the requirement for care services and supporting the ethos of physiotherapy. Care planning and patient-centred goal setting is a fundamental part of the person’s journey and integration with social care teams, nursing teams, and other stakeholders is essential. The teams also have a proactive approach with emphasis on self-management of conditions, and empowering people to live well for longer.
As a band 5 Physiotherapist, you will have the opportunity to assess people with a wide variety of conditions such as post-surgery and post-stroke rehabilitation, falls and frailty and deteriorating long term conditions e.g. Parkinson's Disease and COPD on your rotations.
There will be an expectation that you will need to travel around the county on some rotations.
Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust is in the top 25 per cent of all community trusts for overall staff engagementin the 2021 NHS National Staff Survey.
At LCHS, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where all belong. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in LCHS’ workforce.
LCHS recognises the increasing demand for more flexibility in working practices in order to accommodate the personal goals and commitments that employees experience at different stages during their working lives. Flexible working opportunities such as part-time working, compressed hours, job shares, and hybrid working models can help staff to balance their personal and work commitments. Arrangements can be put in place if it can be shown that the needs of the individual can be balanced with those of the service and the impact on other team members, enabling the Trust to recruit and retain skilled staff, raise staff morale, reduce absenteeism and respond to changing service needs more effectively.
We are an ambassador of a learning culture that will support the right individual to progress in their chosen career through an ‘earn while you learn’ apprenticeship programme.
