Job Summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen in Hywel Dda University Health Board to join our Acute Medical Rehabilitation team. This innovative focused team supports the recovery and rehabilitation of patients across medical wards. The post involves working within Glangwili Hospital's medical wards, including cardiac, respiratory, endocrine, and gastroenterology, as well as frailty and major trauma.
The post holder will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team, including Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Social Workers, Discharge Liaison Nurses, Nurses, and Doctors. Applicants must be highly motivated, with a keen drive to achieve patient-centred, holistic, and compassionate care. With a wide variety of patients and conditions seen within acute medical services, and through working alongside a wide array of multi-disciplinary staff, this post brings a wealth of learning opportunities.

You will be expected to support patients at times alone, though all work undertaken will be under the guidance of qualified Physiotherapists. Recognition of your scope of practice is of paramount importance to recognise when qualified support is required.
