Keighley, United Kingdom Airedale NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated and enthusiastic generic therapy assistant to join the Frail and Elderly pathway team (FEP) at Airedale General Hospital.

The post holder will be responsible for activities delegated to them and will work without direct supervision but will have immediate access to a clinician for advice and direction as required.

Generic therapy assistants in the Frail and elderly team will work predominantly in the emergency department and the acute assessment unit but may be expected to work across the wider frailty teams on the acute medical wards. The post holder may also be expected to undertake some community outreach/follow-up in the Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven localities.

Assistants are expected to continually improve their knowledge and skills and develop collaborative working relationships with therapy colleagues to enhance patient care. Duties are varied and include direct patient contact, clerical and housekeeping tasks.
- Manage a caseload delegated by clinicians
- Independently undertake basic assessments and interventions relevant to delegated caseload
- Support therapists with complex cases as required
- Work with colleagues to ensure the effective functioning of the team
- Work in partnership with patients, carers, the multi disciplinary team and wider statutory, private and voluntary sector services.
- Participate in activities to improve the therapy services at AGH.
- Provide support to other team members and students
- Work flexibly according to patient and service needs

In pursuing these duties the post holder will ensure compliance with the NHS Constitution and be familiar with the NHS England Guidance ‘Understanding the new NHS’

We are always looking for enterprising and innovative approaches to the way we provide our services. We are a national centre for telemedicine and introduced telehealth to the UK offender healthcare sector and also provide the service to patients in their care homes. Community matters to us and we are supported by 400 dedicated volunteers and have strong links with Bradford University, Craven College and Leeds City College to ensure we inspire the workforce of the future.

We want to attract staff who embrace our ‘Right Care’ behaviours of compassion, a commitment to quality of care and working together for patients - we want to make these part of our DNA.
