Job summary

**PREVIOUS APPLICANTS NEED NOT APPLY**

We are looking to appoint a committed, highly motivated, enthusiastic and skilled Band 6 Specialist Physiotherapist to join our dynamic, integrated multi- disciplinary Rapid Response Team (RRT).

This is an exciting opportunity to join and develop our integrated collaborative working between Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust and Bexley Adult Social Services. Would you like to help us continue to improve our provision of health, social care and community support to the residents of Bexley?

RRT has been operational since 2013 and was one of the accelerator sites involved in the introduction and successful roll out of the NHS Urgent Community Response initiative. RRT is a multi- professional team consisting of Nurses, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Social Workers. The team aims to respond to crisis referrals within 2 hours and avoid unnecessary presentation to hospital and residential care, by supporting community patients who are in crisis and preventing direct hospital admissions.

The team provide holistic health and social care assessments for people over the age 18 years, who are registered with a Bexley GP and live in the Borough of Bexley. The team are based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Woolwich and operate 7 days a week, on an 8am-8pm basis, providing an urgent community response to vulnerable people in the community.

Main duties of the job

The Physiotherapist will work as a part of the multi-disciplinary Rapid Response Team to meet the needs of patients, ensuring the highest possible standards of practice. The post holder will be expected to deputise in the absence of the Deputy Managers for the clinical management of patients referred to the team.

The Rapid Response Team aims to prevent inappropriate admissions to acute hospital wards, prevent unnecessary Emergency Department attendances from the community, and facilitate early discharges from hospital by acting as the gateway to Community Services within the Borough of Bexley. The post holder will conduct specialist Physiotherapy assessments for patients in the community. The team provides an integrated multi-professional assessment of health and social care needs. The post holder will assess and lead on recommending admission to intermediate care facilities for rehabilitation or refer to integrated health and social care community services for appropriate intervention, community follow up and case management. The post holder will also provide equipment necessary to maintain clients at home when urgently required following assessment.
