Summary
The successful candidate should have a minimum of two years therapy experience in a health care setting and will be responsible for their own ward-based caseload providing direct Therapy intervention for an identified patient group under the supervision of a registered Therapy practitioner. We would also welcome applications from candidates with relevant therapy experience who would be keen to progress into a Band 4 role via the Trust supported apprenticeship scheme. If you do not already have the AP qualification, Foundation degree or equivalent, you will need an NVQ Level 3 in health care along with both Maths and English qualification at level 2 (GCSE equivalent grade C or above) in order to be considered for the Band 4 Apprenticeship programme. If you do not possess the AP qualification the successful candidate will complete the apprenticeship AP training programme. The Apprenticeship will run for approximately 24 months and will involve day release 1 day per week at Hugh Baird College. Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship the staff member will be uplifted permanently to Band 4. Salary will be renumerated (Annex 21) to reflect the training element of the post and will only be transferred to a band 4 pay scale on successful completion of the AP apprenticeship.
