We have an exciting opportunity for a band 6 Respiratory Physiotherapist to work into the UK’s first Specialist Emergency Care Hospital at Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, rated outstanding twice by the CQC.
This post offers rotations into the Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital covering Respiratory Medicine, Cardiology and Coronary Care, Accident and Emergency, Surgery and Critical Care.

There are strong links with the multidisciplinary team and a robust appraisal system is in place to ensure continuous professional development. There is opportunity to be involved in local and national audits, research trials and service development projects.
The successful applicant must demonstrate excellent communication skills with both the multidisciplinary team and peers. There must be evidence of continued professional development and post graduate training to support applications.
It is noted that in the future some posts may not be traditional Monday to Friday as we progress to full 7 day working.

We give people greater choice and control over their care to help them to live independently at home and avoid hospital admission where appropriate.High quality patient care is at the heart of everything we do and we strive to ensure every single patient and service user has an exceptional experience with us.
