An exciting opportunity has arisen to join one of the most forward thinking, innovative and proactive therapy teams in the East of England
We have vacancies in our therapy department for an enthusiastic therapy assistant.
You will work under the supervision of qualified physiotherapists, occupational therapists and therapy assistant practitioners, to carry out rehabilitation plans and help facilitate discharge for patients on wards across the Colchester General Site.
Our Therapy Assistant staff rotate 6 monthly across a variety of wards in Medicine, Orthopaedics, General Surgery, Critical care, Stroke unit and Elderly Care.
The department provides a 7 day service and you will be expected to participate in this rota.

You will be supported by qualified therapists, working within a competency framework and will be given all necessary training for the job. You will manage your own workload and participate in team and service development.

We are one of the largest NHS organisations in England, employing more than 12,000 staff.
We pride ourselves on supporting our staff. We offer a wide range of training & development opportunities, as well as flexible working options.
Along with supporting you to achieve your career goals we offer a generous pension scheme, unsocial hours payments (where applicable), 27 days annual leave on commencement (pro rata) and access to a range of NHS discounts. Our Staff Health & Wellbeing programme offer a variety of services.
Our philosophy is that Time Matters to everyone. Across the Trust, we concentrate on improving the things we do & removing those which cause time delays for our staff & patients.
We are investing in our commitment to Time Matters with a partnership with leading electronic patient record (EPR) supplier Epic. This digital transformation will bring what’s widely regarded as the world’s best EPR system to ESNEFT, transforming life in hospital for staff & patients.
If you are passionate about patient care & want to develop your skills & knowledge, then we want to hear from you.
