About the Role

We are seeking a skilled and dedicated Physiotherapist/Occupational Therapist to join our team at Care Home Support Services (CHSS) in Oxford Health NHS Trust. As a CHSS therapist, you will play a vital role in helping care home residents achieve their maximum potential.

Key Responsibilities

Conducting assessments, creating treatment plans, and implementing interventions to improve patient outcomes are key responsibilities of this role. You will also be responsible for providing education to patients and their carers about their conditions and treatment options.

Manual Handling Advice

Manual handling refers to the process of moving or supporting a person in a way that avoids injury to the person and the caregiver. As a CHSS therapist, you can provide manual handling advice to care home staff to ensure that these activities are done safely and effectively.

Mobility Assessment and Advice

Mobility refers to a person's ability to move around and perform daily activities. In care homes, residents may have a range of mobility issues, such as difficulty walking, balance problems, or weakness in their limbs. As a CHSS therapist, you can conduct mobility assessments to evaluate a resident's abilities and limitations and develop personalised treatment plans to improve or maintain their mobility and reduce their risk of falls.

Posture Management Advice

Good posture is important for preventing pain and maintaining physical function. In care homes, residents may spend a lot of time sitting or lying down, which can lead to poor posture and related issues like back pain or pressure ulcers. As a CHSS therapist, you can provide posture management advice to care home residents to prevent these issues and promote overall physical function.

Seating Advice

CHSS therapists provide seating assessments for care home residents to ensure they are using appropriate chairs, and seating equipment. This can help prevent pressure ulcers, improve posture, and reduce pain. The assessment may include recommendations for specialised cushions or supports, wheelchairs, static chairs as well as adjustments to existing chairs and positioning.
