We are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic, dynamic, multi-skilled and highly motivated physiotherapist to work in the HCOP Physiotherapy team across Queen’s and City campus. It is an excellent opportunity to bring new ideas to the already well established inpatient service.
This post will drive and provide excellent clinical care within the physiotherapy service for our HCOP patients across a diverse pathway and you will be supported by the Clinical Lead, Therapy Service Manager and fellow band 7 physiotherapy and occupational therapy colleagues within the team. The OT's and physios work collaboratively and increasingly generically in order to support decision making and holistic patient care. You will be exposed to a diverse range of clinical presentations including but not limited to geriatric conditions, many of which are very acute and complex, and as such you need to have a skill set that matches this, including full respiratory skills.
The successful candidate will be required to contribute to the education, training, and competency assessment of staff within the area and will have line manager responsibilities. Opportunities for personal development and learning new skills will be encouraged and this is an excellent opportunity to expand your leadership skill set.
Contribution to weekend rosters will be an expectation of the role and continued involvement in the on-call rota

Working for our organisation
Join a passionate and driven team of therapists keen to make service improvements across a wide variety of inpatient specialties.
We will provide a supportive and educational environment that encourages all team members to reach their full potential.
Opportunities to expand your own clinical knowledge will be supported with post graduate study and interdisciplinary working.
Leadership skills, service development and research opportunities are well supported with Band 7 training and one to one input from both the therapy service management team and clinical specialists. There will also be excellent peer support from the existing band 7 team.
This post will allow a physiotherapist with a keen interest in inpatient care to expand both their clinical skill and leadership of a busy and responsive service, with a focus on patient flow whilst ensuring excellent patient care isn’t compromised.
