Poole, United Kingdom Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We looking to recruit two experienced and motivated Therapy Assistant Practitioners within the Transition therapy team in Poole. The roles will be varied and exciting and include community follow up with patients in their own home following a Patients rehabilitation journey from elderly Rehabilitation into the community.

You will require a car for use at work, to enable you to work autonomously in the community to visit patients, whilst adhering to local and Trust guidance on lone working.

We offer employment in a dynamic team, of Rehabilitation Assistants, Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists who work as part of a wider MDT.

You will be required to carry a clinical caseload of patients both within Community hospital rehabilitation ward settings as well as within the patient's own homes following discharge. You will be responsible for ensuring that patients benefit from high quality, evidence-based interventions, which you will deliver and record according to professional standards and legal requirements.

This is an ideal opportunity if you have a keen interest in the patients journey through rehabilitation, working with patients from discharge form the acute hospitals all the way through to home-based exercise programmes.

At Dorset HealthCare we're on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services. We're a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.

We do things differently here - it's one of the reasons the CQC rated us 'outstanding' in 2019. It's also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference. Whether you're looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.

Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do and our success is a testament to our brilliant people. We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities and we celebrate diversity. We're an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.

Working with us you'll be part of a strong team, challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don't know. And you'll be working towards our vision to be better every day through excellence, compassion and expertise in all we do.
