The Physiotherapy deparment is looking for a motivated, caring and committed individual to join our acute inpatient therapy team. We are a friendly and dynamic group committed to inter-disciplinary working and professional development.

As a Physiotherapy Assistant, you will carry out mobility and exercise programs with patients and assist with initial patient assessments, functional assessments and treatments under the direction of qualified staff. In addition, you will be responsible for general departmental housekeeping duties and general administration duties.

We have weekly protected sessions for departmental in-service training, as well as opportunities to be involved in departmental initiatives.

You will not need any formal qualifications for this post, but you will need to be of a caring disposition, with excellent communication skills and the ability to work flexibly within a team.

This could include assisting mobility with a walking aid, fitting splints, supervising exercises etc.

You will also assist in contributing to the service development projects in the department, and will develop and complete relevant competencies set for physiotherapy assistants.
