Manchester, United Kingdom Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

This post is for a Band 3 Children's Rehabilitation Assistant who will work within the paediatric respiratory and rehabilitation team supporting Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists.

The post involves delivery of mobility, neuro-rehabilitation and respiratory programmes for children and young children with acute and long-term conditions including post-operative patients.

It will include use of the hydrotherapy pool.

Alongside the clinical support to the patients the post involves a significant amount of daily non clinical duties including cleaning equipment, organising servicing of equipment and administration duties.

There will be occasions of cross cover supporting the wider teams for planned and unplanned absence.

The team is looking for a motivated, flexible and professional individual who is able to provide care to patients and families in an empathetic manner. The post is suitable for somebody who is a good team player with strong communication skills. Evidence of previous experience working alongside
children or young people is essential.

We will provide access to training and support for CPD with annual appraisals.

MFT is England’s largest NHS Trust with a turnover of £1.8bn and is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating the most exceptional integrated health and social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.

Bringing together 10 hospitals and community services from across Manchester, Trafford and beyond, we champion collaborative working and transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.

We’re proud to be one of the major academic research centres and education providers in England and Research and Innovation is the heart of all we do, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. We’re also excited to be embarking on our new Green Plan which will set out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable and tackling climate change.

At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.

Join us and you’ll work with some of the best people in the NHS, thriving in a Trust united in its values, purpose and commitment to our patients and a drive for continual innovation and improvement.

COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings. Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not currently a condition of employment, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated. If you are unvaccinated, there is helpful advice and information available by searching on the ‘NHS England’ website where you can also find out more about how to access the vaccination.

Diversity Matters

We’re looking forward to hearing from you
