A full valid UK driving licence holder would be desirable for this position to meet the needs of the service.

As part of the Scottish Government Discharge Without Delay agenda within South Lanarkshire work has commenced on developing multi-professional, multi-agency Home First Teams. Phase 1 of this process has produced very exciting outcomes in respect of delivering on this agenda through maximizing function, reducing deconditioning, preventing hospital admission where appropriate, supporting people to return home as quickly as possible where hospital admission has been required and delivering on the issues that people tell us really matter to them to enable them to live their lives in the way they want to. Interventions focus on input within the community setting as well as actively promoting discharge from the in-patient sites.

Following the very positive first phase of these developments, we are now moving to phase 2 of the process to further expand the initiative across the area.

We have exciting opportunities for enthusiastic, focused, dedicated, flexible people to join our developing Home First Teams. This offers the chance to work in this supportive team and to be involved in the early stages of developing this new service.

The Assistant Practioner will work under the supervision of registered therapy staff to assist patients to achieve their rehabilitation goals. Undertake baseline assessments within clearly defined parameters for the identified service. Implement, adapt and progress the treatment programmes within agreed protocols and defined parameters. Use specialist technical and practical skills to deliver flexible, patient-centered programmes across a variety of clinical settings.
