Job overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 4 Therapy Assistant Practitioner working within the South Rural Integrated Neighbourhood Team. We are a busy dynamic team who actively support staff new to the community.

Previous Assistant Practitioner experience will be an advantage, but the opportunity for professional development will also be available.

The South Rural Integrated Neighbourhood team is based at Beacon House, 53 White House Road, Ipswich IP1 5PB. You will be required to work across the South Rural INT, and the wider community services to meet service requirements. The team consists Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, District & Community nurses, Assistant practitioners, generic workers and social care workers. The Therapy team is led by a Band 7 Therapy Lead with an INT manager managing all teams within the INT.

Main duties of the job

Under the supervision of a registered Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist, you will be expected:

To manage a designated caseload of patients. To provide specific skilled support to the registered therapists in providing technical therapy interventions to patients in a variety of settings. To use an evidence-based, person-centred approach in the planning, implementation, evaluation and monitoring of agreed interventions following guidelines and protocols to promote the functional fitness of patients and to aid discharge from hospital in a way that is consistent with their abilities, preferences, and cultural beliefs. To be able to work flexibly over a 7 day service. To communicate complex and sensitive information effectively to patients using skills of persuasion, motivation, explanation, negotiation, and empathy. There may be barriers to understanding such as hearing loss, speech difficulty, anxiety, fear, and depression.

Working for our organisation

We are ESNEFT and we provide hospital and community health services to almost one million people across east Suffolk and north Essex. Our dedicated staff deliver care from acute hospitals in Colchester and Ipswich, community hospitals, surgeries, community clinics and in patients’ own homes. 

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 and 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 and 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 and removing those which cause time delays for our staff and 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 and patients. 

If you are passionate about patient care and want to develop your skills and knowledge, then we want to hear from you.
