An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Physiotherapist to join the Maryport & Cockermouth Rehab Team, located in North Cumbria, next to the beautiful Lake District.

We are a motivated and proactive team, supporting a varied workload. We provide admission prevention, supported discharge, long term rehab and post op care / advice. We assess and treat patients within their home environment, as an out-patient and in clinics setting.

The team consists of OTs, Physios, HCP Co-coordinators, APs, Hub administrators, RAs and Home Care Practitioners (HCP). We work very closely with the District Nurse team, GP practices as well as many other community services and agencies / professionals as part of the MDT.

There is a strong commitment to continuing professional development. This post offers the chance to develop clinical, supervisory and managerial skills so would suit an experienced band 5 wanting to step up to a band 6 level.
