Vacancy details
Due to maternity leave, we have a vacancy for a Band 6 Physiotherapist until April 2020.
We are looking for someone who is an enthusiastic team player to join the Keswick & Solway ICC - to be based in Keswick, but required to work throughout the ICC, depending on demand.
You will need to be experienced in dealing with a variety of patient conditions, and be able to use your assessment and clinical judgement skills to the full. Ideally, you will also have some community experience.
The main focus of the Community Rehab Teams is to keep people at home (facilitating discharges or preventing admission) but we also see patients on the ward at Keswick Hospital, run an exercise group and Balance & Falls group, and have a caseload of patients with long-term conditions.
The post is supported by an amazing team of Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Assistant Practitioners, Rehab Assistants, Home Care Practitioners and Admin staff. We work very closely with the local GP’s, District Nurses and Mental Health Team, as well as Adult Social Care and other agencies, and with all the staff on the ward at Keswick Hospital.
The post requires 7 day working on a rota basis, covering the hours between 8am and 8pm – 3 x 7 hour shifts.
Must be able to travel independently of public transport.
Informal enquiries: contact either Ruth Mitchell or Jenny Griffiths from the Keswick Rehab Team for further information (01768) 245671
ICCs aim to address the challenges of an aging population and increasing demand on health and care services by providing more out of hospital care and empowering people to take control of their health and wellbeing. This will require new ways of working to focus on preventing ill health and ensure services are sustainable for the future. These new ways of working will follow the same approach across all eight ICCs with flexibility to tailor services to the needs of local people.
A short animation has been developed to explain why we need ICCs and how they will work: https://youtu.be/DeysdmvzHoEHi
