Band 4 Stroke Therapy Technical Instructor
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a full time Senior Therapy Technical Instructor to join our Inpatient Stroke Therapy Team at Northampton General Hospital. We are a dynamic team that is part of a very successful stroke pathway that covers the whole of Northamptonshire.
Applicants should have experience and desire to expand their knowledge of stroke / neurological conditions and how therapy supports this population. Applicants should display an understanding of neurological assessment, treatment techniques and therapeutic handling of stroke patients. In order to continue the post holders’ development there is well-established stroke specific training available via a variety of methods and many other opportunities for CPD are available such as attending specialist MDT meetings or spending time with MDT members to gain new skills.
The applicant will be expected to work in our 7-day service across the trust assessing and treating stroke patients, which can be anywhere from A and E to ITU. The applicant will work in both the hyperacute and inpatient rehabilitation setting. We work closely with our Community Stroke Team and the successful applicant will need to have excellent communication skills to provide seamless transfer of care into the community.
Applicants will be expected to participate in audit projects and be innovative in service development to maintain standards and meeting national guidelines. They must also demonstrate a strong commitment to supporting the training of colleagues and MDT members.
