This role involves working closely with patients during their hospital admission to assess and improve their skills in mobility and self care. Many patients are frail and very elderly, or recovering from surgery or illness, and initially need full physical assistance with all basic tasks. Our aim is to improve their mobility and independence and get them back home with equipment and care support. There are also administrative tasks, equipment cleaning and record keeping.

the smooth running of the department.

We work together, and in conjunction with MSE Health and Care Partnership, to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients in a compassionate way, and provide a respectful, but vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.

From facilities through to consultant specialists we want to be the best, to achieve this we need to recruit not just those who are the finest in their field but also those who have the potential to be. Yes, experience is important but so is outlook - if you are dynamic, forward-thinking and enthusiastic we want you to join us.
