Main duties of the job

The Intermediate Tier prides itself on providing strengths-based assessments and interventions to the people of Bury, helping them regain or attain as much independence as possible in their homes.

Our patients are at the heart of everything we do! We are looking for someone committed to being part of a healthcare team that delivers excellent care and support to our patients. To help us achieve this, you will be responsible for your own caseload, performing patient therapy assessments, providing a diagnosis, developing, implementing, and evaluating individualised holistic treatment programmes, and delivering a high standard of evidence-based care.
