Bridport, United Kingdom Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The Bridport Integrated Community Therapy Team are looking to recruit a motivated Therapy Assistant Practitioner. The role will involve patient assessment, goal setting, implementation of evidenced based treatment and management strategies, and autonomously managing your own caseload. This is open to both internal and external applicants looking to develop their skills, knowledge and responsibilities.
Our team consists of Rehabilitation Assistants, Therapy assistant practitioners, Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists, who have close links with our wider MDT and Nursing colleagues. We are a supportive and close team who are keen to develop our service further.
Employment in this post requires an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which the Trust will cover the cost of. Applicants who subscribe to the DBS update service are able to present a valid DBS certificate instead of requiring a new check.
You will be required to carry a clinical caseload of patients with Varying conditions and needs including falls and trauma, Dementia, Equipment provision and recent hospital discharges. You will need to ensure that patients benefit from high quality, evidence based interventions, which you will deliver and record according to professional standards and legal requirements.
This is an ideal opportunity if you have clinical interest in community therapy, and a strong motivation to develop skills and expertise and provide patient centred, evidenced based therapy.
You will require a car for use at work, to enable you to work autonomously in the community to visit patients, whilst adhering to local and Trust guidance on lone working.
At Dorset HealthCare we’re on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services. We’re a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.
We do things differently here - it’s one of the reasons the CQC rated us ‘outstanding’ in 2019. It’s also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference. Whether you’re looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.
Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do and our success is a testament to our brilliant people. We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities and we celebrate diversity. We’re an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.
Working with us you’ll be part of a strong team, challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don’t know. And you’ll be working towards our vision to be better every day through excellence, compassion and expertise in all we do
