South Warwickshire Foundation Trust is committed to bringing care closer to home. A position has arisen for an enthusiastic Band 5 physio within our Routine therapy/Community recovery Service – South Warwickshire.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a dynamic and forward-thinking service. You will be well supported and encouraged to continuously develop to meet the needs of our service and your profession.

The successful candidate will work with patients in their own homes to deliver an integrated rehabilitation pathway across community services. You will liaise and work closely with Community & Specialist Nursing Colleagues, General Practitioners, and the acute hospital, as well as with therapists within the Integrated Health Teams.

The Integrated Community Health Service operates a seven-day service from 08:30 – 22:00, so flexible working is required. The therapy team will be rostered between 08:30 – 18:00 hours including weekends and bank holidays. The ability to travel independently across Warwickshire is required.

Working as a member of the Integrated Health team, you will:

1. Plan, coordinate, deliver, and evaluate the programmes of care provided across health, social, and voluntary care sectors as part of a multi-disciplinary community-based rehabilitation team.
2. Work as an accountable practitioner, holding responsibility for your own caseload, working within codes of practice and professional guidelines.
3. Keep accurate records of patient contact using written records and electronic data capture.
4. Provide assessment and treatment for patients with a range of complex physical, sensory, perceptual, and cognitive problems within community settings as a member of the Intermediate Care Service.
5. Work flexibly over a 7-day roster including weekends and bank holidays to meet the demands of the service and a rapidly changing caseload. Must have a UK driving licence and access to a vehicle to fulfil the role.
