Health & Exercise Practitioner - Band 5

1 month ago

Gloucester, United Kingdom Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Greyfriars Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is seeking a highly motivated and committed band 5 Exercise and Health Practitioner. Greyfriars PICU is a 10 bedded mixed PICU, providing care for people with severe and enduring mental health needs.

The post-holder will be responsible for the day to day provision, co-ordination and review of sports / exercise / health activities to patients being nursed within Greyfriars PICU. This will involve running specialist activities/sessions and taking part in the provision of health and well-being sessions for patients.

We provide a service to our patients 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, so we are looking for flexible people who would like to work on this rewarding service to cover shifts throughout the week at varying times of the day.

To inform and educate other health care professionals of Health and Exercise activities so that appropriate and timely referrals can be made. To share experience with other Trusts to encourage best practice in the field of Health and Exercise and to assist in Service development by methods such as networking with external agencies such as leisure and other healthcare providers.

To collect local activity data as required by local and Trust Policy and to take part in Trustwide and service audit activity and to assist in implementation of any service improvements indicated on a physiotherapy and health and exercise service or care group basis.

To communicate effectively with patients and carers to maximise treatment potential and to ensure understanding of treatment intervention.

To demonstrate a wide range of communication techniques and interpersonal skills in order to enable and support patients who may have low motivation to take part in Health, Exercise and Activity programmes. Communications skills of persuasion, motivation, explanation and gaining trust and consent are used regularly.

At Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, we are supportive of the people we care for in the community and aim to provide a fully responsive service to everyone who needs it. This is the same approach we take for our employees. We look to value the skills and experiences of those we work with, whether they are service users, carers, families or those looking to work with us.

Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust is part of the NHS. We treat NHS patients according to NHS principles and standards. The difference is the Trust is accountable to local people, rather than to Government, and so we are able to work closely with our community to develop services in the way that best suits the needs of local people.

The qualification, training & experience requirements for the role are underlined in the Job Description/Person Specification.
