Middlesbrough, United Kingdom South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

22.5 Hours per week (Fixed Term -12 months)

Secondment considered for Internal Staff

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 3 Physiotherapy Assistant to join our Spinal Injuries Therapy Service. The post holder will be working under the guidance of the Specialist Physiotherapists and Occupational therapists supporting the therapists with the assessment and rehabilitation of spinal injury patients.

Continuous professional development will be actively encouraged and the post holder will be supported to develop their knowledge and skills with regular support and clinical supervision from the Senior Therapists/ Team Lead.

You will need to be able to work as part of a team and on your own, frequently using your own initiative and problem-solving skills supporting both physiotherapy and occupational therapy input. You will work with a wide multidisciplinary team and be involved with clients with a range of medical, social and emotional problems. The successful applicant will have good communication and literacy skills and basic computer skills. Previous work experience within health or social care setting is essential and experience working as a therapy assistant is desirable but not essential. Participation in service developments and clinical governance is also expected.

South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest teaching hospital trusts in the country, close to the North Yorkshire Moors and within easy reach of Newcastle and Leeds. It comprises two acute hospitals, The James Cook University Hospital and Friarage Hospital Northallerton and a number of community hospitals. The James Cook University Hospital is a major trauma centre and provides a wide range of district general hospital services and specialist services such as neurosciences, renal medicine, spinal injuries, major trauma, cardiothoracic, vascular surgery and cancer services.

The Therapy Service is a well-established large, progressive and dynamic service, which continues to develop within the Trust. The team is friendly and supportive and mentorship for this role will be available from other clinicians, the AHP Service Lead and Head of Professions.

South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust offers leadership and improvement training to all new staff to the Trust; this training programme has been designed to support our leaders in developing their understanding of leadership and management skills. You will be expected to attend the New and Aspiring leaders programme, and the Foundation Quality Improvement Programme that the Trust delivers. After you complete this one and a half day of training you will be able to explore further leadership and improvement training opportunities, we offer further in-house courses and bitesize programmes and leadership apprenticeships at level 3,5 and 7.
