Job summary

We would love you to come and see what we have to offer in the Western Lake District!

The post we have to offer you is within the Integrated Musculoskeletal (IMSK) team in Cumbria.

We are a large MSK department with this role being situated in the team which covers the Western edge of the Lake District. Our service is spread throughout Cumbria, based in acute hospitals, community hospitals, GP surgeries, local gyms and health centres offering wide and varied opportunities to gain skills in the MSK field. We have highly skilled physiotherapists working in each of these areas who will support you to achieve high standards of professional development and clinical excellence in your practise.

The static Band 6 MSK position provides you with the opportunity to work within a well-developed and supportive department offering a robust appraisal, preceptorship, clinical and management supervision.

You will need to be committed to working autonomously providing evidence based assessment, treatment and rehabilitation. You will manage a caseload where patients are referred from both Primary and Secondary care and include those from the wider MSK Pathway (including our First Contact Physiotherapists and Orthopaedic triage services). We support the education of apprentices, T Level students and physiotherapy students as well as the development of rotational staff through our service. All of which we anticipate you will be part of.

Main duties of the job

This role is a static position within the Integrated MSK Physiotherapy service with the main duties of the role being that of assessing and managing patients using evidence based practise and clinical reasoning; supporting the wider service with training of rotational team members and students and being pro-active in own and service development.

Continuing professional development is encouraged and we provide a robust in-service training programme which we anticipate you will be actively a part of. We work collaboratively with Advanced Practice Physiotherapists & Podiatrists who provide mentoring, teaching and training sessions.

We would anticipate that you will have significant experience of working within the MSK field with clear evidence of relevant postgraduate training, exceptional organisational and leadership skills. An ability to work and travel across sites throughout Cumbria is also essential.

We use a blended approach to patient centred care with face to face, telephone and virtual consultations all offered.

A positive patient experience every time

A great place to work

Managing our money well

As an organisation we are serious about supporting a diverse workforce that reflects our local community and are very much focused on being an inclusive and compassionate place to work.

Across the North East and North Cumbria we are working together to deliver our ambition to be the greenest region in England by 2030. All staff are expected to support sustainability.

Job summary

Could you help someone take their next step towards independence?

Are you passionate about helping people achieve their goals and regain their confidence and independence?

We are looking for an enthusiastic and caring Band 3 Rehabilitation Assistant to join our friendly Cockermouth & Maryport ICC Rehabilitation Team.

This is much more than a job where you simply follow a care plan. You will be an important part of a multidisciplinary team, working directly with patients to support their rehabilitation, encourage progress and celebrate those all-important milestones along the way.

No two days are the same. You could be supporting someone to regain their mobility, helping them practise everyday activities, encouraging them when rehabilitation feels challenging, or simply being the person who gives them the confidence to try again.

You will work alongside experienced Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and other members of the team, with opportunities to further develop your knowledge and skills through our clinician led in-service training days.

If you are compassionate, enthusiastic, reliable and enjoy helping people achieve what they thought they couldn't, we'd love to hear from you.

A short animation has been developed to explain why we need ICCs and how they will work: youtu.be/DeysdmvzHoEHi

This may include supporting patients with personal hygiene and activities of a daily living.

Flexible working will be required to meet the needs of the patient group.

The ability to work over 7 days is a requirement of the post. The hours of work will be on a rota covering a shift pattern between the hours of 8.00 a.m. and 20.00 p.m.

Continuing professional development is actively encouraged and as part of the team you will have the opportunity to take part in the process.
