Frailty Practitioner

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Frailty Practitioner to join our newly formed frailty team at Livewell Southwest. This post is suitable for a Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist or Registered Nurse delivering care to adults experiencing decompensation in physical, psychological, or social well-being. The ability to assess and treat the person as a whole, considering all aspects of their life which may be impacting their condition, is the key to successful management of frailty.

The successful applicant will work collaboratively with Livewells community integrated teams and the Primary Care Networks across the city as a core member of the Ageing Well Multidisciplinary Team (MDT), with the ability to facilitate optimal outcomes and reduce avoidable hospital admissions through promoting independence and improving quality of life.

There will be opportunities for upskilling and skill sharing for the successful applicant, although we also recognise the desire for individuals to maintain their own professional registration and maintain their competencies.
