Job Requirements
Candidates should demonstrate substantial experience in rehabilitation or reablement within the NHS, social care, or a comparable community/clinical environment.
Previous experience in therapy within the NHS, particularly in elderly care, orthopedics, and general medicine, is highly desirable.
The ability to travel independently between various service locations is essential, and candidates must be able to do so efficiently.
The role will involve utilizing electronic patient records and some administrative tasks; therefore, strong IT skills and familiarity with healthcare or social care IT systems are crucial.
You will be expected to provide professional and clinical guidance to junior staff, students, and support personnel.
