Physiotherapy Assistant Practitioner

We are looking for a dynamic and motivated individual to join our Physiotherapy team as a Band 4 Physiotherapy Assistant Practitioner in the Pulmonary Rehabilitation team made up of Physiotherapists and Nurses.

You must have experience at Band 3 or Band 4 level as a physiotherapy assistant within the NHS or similar environment. A health care qualification would be desirable.

Duties will also include administrative duties and departmental housekeeping. You will have a clinical case load made up of face-to-face and virtual appointments appointments, and group rehabilitation sessions.

You will be working within a friendly team where career development and teaching are actively encouraged. You will be supervised by a Senior Physiotherapist to deliver Physiotherapy treatment plans to patients.

The department offers a supportive working environment which actively supports Continuing Professional Development, through an established appraisal system, in-service training, and post graduate library facilities.

You will be based at the Tunbridge Wells Hospital but spend a proportion of your time delivering group rehabilitation programmes in local community settings.

All of this, and future plans for development make this an exciting time to be part of Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, so if you have what it takes to make a difference we want to hear from you!
