This post requires you to collect information from patients and families, prepare patients for treatment sessions, carry out treatments and order and maintain equipment as directed by a qualified therapist. The post holder needs to be driven to provide high quality care, working closely with other professions to ensure excellent patient outcomes.This post offers the following opportunities: Joint working with Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapy in a clinical and non-clinical support role with support from our Multi-disciplinary team In-house training to allow you to develop your understanding of common conditions and their management Cover respiratory areas and working cross site if necessary.

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.
