An exciting opportunity for a Band 4 Therapy Assistant in our Acute Frailty Therapy Team (AFTT) at Queen’s Hospital in Romford, Essex.

The Team works closely with the larger Multidisciplinary Team including Geriatricians and FOPAL Teams to care for acutely unwell frail patients attending the hospital and through collaborative decision making with our colleagues we facilitate safe and rapid discharge from hospital. We are based in Queen’s Frailty Unit, Medical Receiving Unit, and Elderly Short Stay Ward in Queen’s Hospital.

As a Therapy Assistant in this large and busy team you will be required to communicate well and be confident to work within guidelines and protocols. You will be working under the guidance of physiotherapists and occupational therapists within the team, following direct instructions. Often, you will also need to work independently and report back your findings. Experience of working in a healthcare at Band 3 or above is required. Working in this fast paced environment, you will have the opportunity to expand your clinical skills and knowledge.

To provide skilled routine, and non-routine, clinical and technical support to the Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy team and clerical staff associated with the team.

To accept patients allocated by the Therapists, assess and treat according to protocols and guidelines. To monitor patient progression, and make alterations to intervention as required.

To work independently, with access to direct supervision as required. To maintain close communication with the team to facilitate patient care.

To organise and participate in the team induction and in-service training programmes. Routinely providing in-service training to team colleagues.

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

The state registered therapist will at all times remain responsible for:
Allocation for assessment / intervention

Overseeing the primary clinical intervention plan and agreeing the expected progression of the patient

Overseeing the clinical quality and ensuring appropriateness of the intervention practised with the patient

We provide care for the residents of three diverse London boroughs. Most of our 7,800 permanent staff live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. 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 and we operate from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London - more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Community Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic, and Harold Wood Polyclinic.

We’re pleased to be leading the way in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need. The Elective Surgical Hub at King George Hospital is one of eight to be accredited as part of a national scheme; the Care Quality Commission has raised the ratings for urgent and emergency care at Queen’s and King George hospitals; and data released by NHS England showed that the Trust was the most improved in 2023 for reducing waits for emergency care.

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 part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.
