Liverpool, United Kingdom The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We currently have an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated, responsible and caring Therapy Assistant to join our Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy teams at Clatterbridge Cancer Centre.

The services currently operate 08:00-16:30 Monday to Friday. The advertised post is 18.75 hours. We have a flexible working policy. There may be a future requirement to work weekends on a rota basis in order to support both teams to provide a 7 day service.

As part of the Transforming Cancer Care programme, the trust has built a state of the art cancer centre in the heart of Liverpool which opened in June 2020. This post will be based in the new hospital in Liverpool City Centre although you may be asked to work in one of our local hubs in Wirral and Aintree on occasion.

You will need to be educated to GCSE level or equivalent, including a minimum of C grade in English and Maths and be confident using computer systems.

You will need to have some experience of working in a health care environment and have some knowledge of the role of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy.

You will work as part of a small team to support the Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists in providing a clinical service to both inpatients and outpatients within the Centre. The post would involve both direct patient contact and clinical administration tasks for the team.

The Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists work as part of the wider AHP team, including Dietitians and Speech and Language therapists, to provide a comprehensive therapy service to patients receiving cancer treatment at the Centre.

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust is one of the UK’s leading providers of non-surgical cancer treatment, caring for a population of 2.4 million people across Cheshire & Merseyside, North Wales, the Isle of Man and parts of Lancashire.

Our flagship specialist cancer hospital in Liverpool opened in June 2020, supported by our hospital on the Clatterbridge Health Park in Wirral providing outpatient cancer treatment and supportive care, and our radiotherapy treatment centre on the Aintree Hospital site.

Together, working across three sites and operating specialist chemotherapy clinics in four of Merseyside’s district hospitals, we are able to deliver a comprehensive range of inpatient care, advanced radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other systemic anti-cancer therapies including gene therapies and immunotherapies. We also deliver a pioneering Treatment at Home and Work service; are the only facility in the UK providing low-energy proton beam therapy to treat rare eye cancers and host the region’s Teenage and Young Adult Unit, (supported by the Teenage Cancer Trust).

Working with leading experts from The University of Liverpool and the Cancer Research UK Liverpool Cancer Trials Unit we strive to stay at the forefront of novel treatments and techniques to deliver more effective and personalised treatments than ever before.
