Romford, United Kingdom Barking Havering and Redbridge Univ Hospitals NHS Trust Full time

We are looking to recruit a Therapy Assistant to work with us in our Orthopaedic Therapy Team, assisting the Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists. This is an exciting opportunity to work with the team to rehabilitate patients with a wide spectrum of conditions in the Acute setting.

This post requires you to collect information from patients and families, prepare patients for treatment sessions, carry out treatments, and order equipment as directed by a qualified therapist.

**Our commitment to you**:

- Allow you to work with support from our Multi-disciplinary team in an innovative and evolving Orthopaedic service
- Offer in-house training to allow you to develop your understanding of common conditions and their management
- Provide an environment to allow you to develop your skills at assisting the Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists
- Provide varied work with Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists in a clinical and non-clinical support role.
- Training, support and supervision from other Therapists.
- Integration of our pathway across 2 sites presenting an exciting opportunity to affect improvements in car

**Your commitment to us and our patients**:

- Passion, responsibility, innovation, drive and empowerment (PRIDE)
- To be reliable, motivated and have a caring nature
- To be able to respond to the changing needs of the team as required
- To be organised and focused on delivering high quality service in all details.

To provide skilled routine, and some non-routine, clinical and non-clinical support to the Orthopaedic and/or Surgical team, this includes Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists.

To accept patients allocated by the Team and treat according to protocols and guidelines, monitoring patient progression and making minor alterations to patient treatment programs as required.

To work independently, with access to direct supervision as required. To maintain close communication with the Orthopaedic and Surgical Team to facilitate patient care.

To actively participate in the Orthopaedic and/or Surgical Team, departmental and Assistant induction and in-service training program.

To carry out other duties deemed necessary by the Lead Clinician in discussion with the post holder to ensure adequate provision of service.

Under the leadership of our Chair Jacqui Smith and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, we provide care for the residents of three of the most diverse London boroughs. More than half of our 7,500 strong workforce are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and most live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge. We also provide healthcare services to people in south west Essex, and specialist neurosciences services to the whole of the county.

Our services include all the major specialties of large acute hospitals, operating from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic, and Harold Wood Polyclinic. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London.

As we recover from Covid-19, we’re proud to be leading the way nationally in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need. The pandemic provided the drive for our teams to innovate and change.

We know we have more work to do to improve waiting times for urgent and emergency care, and our performance against the four-hour emergency access standard remains challenged, in comparison to many other London trusts.

We are particularly proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre; Radiotherapy Centre; Hyper Acute Stroke Unit; and dedicated breast care service at King George Hospital. We’re also pleased to be part of the NEL Cancer Alliance.

For further information on this role, please see the attached detailed Job Description and Person Specification.
