Cambridge Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Hi, I'm Kristy, a Respiratory Physiotherapist working across the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Team and the Community Respiratory Team. We are looking for a Band 6 community Respiratory Physiotherapist. Our team works with patients in the community to support them at home with their chronic respiratory conditions, as well as in their pulmonary rehabilitation rehab journey.

For me, one of the most rewarding parts of the job is being able to support patients in their own home because it allows you to develop closer therapeutic relationships and create a unique bond with your patients. In our team we have Specialist Nurses, Physiotherapists and Respiratory support workers, and we work closely with the wider Multidisciplinary Team.

We are looking for a qualified and registered Physiotherapist, but our goal is to find someone with passion and interest in respiratory conditions and supporting people in their own homes. Therefore, we are happy to consider candidates without community and/or respiratory training.

  • Supervise and support junior physiotherapists and health care assistant staff, delegating work as appropriate

  • Participate in clinical supervision on a regular basis
  • Attend and represent the Community Respiratory Team and service meetings, MDT's and any other meetings as required
  • Use education, support and counselling to promote a better understanding of respiratory conditions for patients, their families, carers and other agencies involved
