John Eastwood Hospice are delighted to offer a post for a Physiotherapist to join our Specialist Palliative Care Team.

The Specialist Palliative Care Team at John Eastwood Hospice delivers specialist inpatient and outpatient care to the population of Mid Notts. Working across our 12 bedded inpatient unit and our Living Well Centre the successful candidate will have the opportunity to manage complex patients aiming to improve outcomes through rehabilitation and symptom management. You will contribute to the development of the day service provision in the Living Well Centre by developing therapy groups.

The successful candidate will be innovative and forward thinking, supporting the team to develop our therapy offer to patients from diagnosis to preparing for end of life including rehabilitation, disease management and coping strategies, falls prevention and specialist pain and symptom management. This post is an excellent opportunity to develop your career in specialist palliative care.

This post is eligible for a Golden Hello payment of �2,750 for new starters who are external to the Trust. This is payable in 3 instalments over a 2 year period. This payment is only eligible to new starters who do not already hold a contract of employment with the Trust. This post also includes paid enhancements for unsocial hours working during night, weekends and bank holidays.

Main duties of the job

As an integral member of the multi-disciplinary team you will have excellent developed communication skills and be confident in providing advice and support to colleagues both within the hospice and across the wider community. Given the nature of this role, experience in palliative and end of life care is essential. Experience of providing therapy to patients with complex, long term conditions and frailty is also highly desirable.

If you are looking for a change in role or to take the next step in your career and want to share your passion and ideas we'd be eager to hear from you. We would strongly encourage you to take the opportunity to contact us informally to find out more.
