This Team provides visits to patients homes as well as Residential and Nursing homes, provision of balance classes, Pulmonary Rehabilitation, provision of Physiotherapy into four wards (two slow stream rehabilitation ward, one Acute Adult Psychiatric ward and one Older Adult Psychiatric Assessment ward).
Community physiotherapy is required to provide a range of Neurological, Respiratory, Frailty/T&O and MSK interventions for patients from a wide range of backgrounds who are unable to access services elsewhere. Referrals come from Inpatients services, GP's, Mental Health services, other professionals and Consultants among other services.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, motivated individual who has proven leadership qualities and significant experience of working with complex case loads.
The University Health Board supports post graduate training and other forms of internal/external CPD.
