Job Description
Job description
Liverpool Community Physiotherapy service provides therapy and rehabilitation in patients homes. We aim to promote independence and improve quality of life for people with physical problems caused by accidents, ageing, disease or disability. These include respiratory conditions, orthopaedic and musculoskeletal conditions, mobility issues, neurological conditions and those receiving palliative care.
If you’re motivated, with therapy experience and skills, a passion to be part this service, and share our aim for perfect care, we’d like to hear from you.
The role involves working across Liverpool community teams (North, Central, South, Neuro, Rehab at Home, Care homes and Falls) on a rotational basis to provide support to our patients in their homes and other community settings, which will enable you to develop skills and flourish within your career. If this interests you, come and join our fantastic team.
We’re a very supportive team with physiotherapists, occupational therapists and assistant practitioners.
The post holder will be expected to effectively manage a caseload of patient’s co-morbidities as an autonomous practitioner, using evidence based patient centred principles to assess, plan, implement and evaluate interventions of the patient group.
The post holder will provide leadership for junior staff, when appropriate, through supervision and appraisal. The post holder will participate in planning, development and evaluation of services provided, holding responsibility for defined service improvement projects.
The post holder will take a holistic approach in the assessment and treatment of patients, being responsible for the provision of appropriate, high quality therapy and care to a caseload which may be of a complex nature, using the appropriate model of care and evidenced based practice.
Mersey Care is one of the largest trusts providing physical health and mental health services in the North West, serving more than 1.4 million people across our region and are also commissioned for services that cover the North West, North Wales and the Midlands.
We offer specialist inpatient and community services that support physical and mental health and specialist inpatient mental health, learning disability, addiction and brain injury services. Mersey Care is one of only three trusts in the UK that offer high secure mental health facilities.
At the heart of all we do is our commitment to ‘perfect care’ – care that is safe, effective, positively experienced, timely, equitable and efficient. We support our staff to do the best job they can and work alongside service users, their families, and carers to design and develop future services together. We’re currently delivering a programme of organisational and service transformation to significantly improve the quality of the services we provide and safely reduce cost as we do so.
Flexible working requests will be considered for all roles.
