An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic therapist with acute NHS experience to join our Integrated Discharge Team (IDT) working in A&E and other in-patient assessment areas. 
The team works closely with acute and community services, providing a comprehensive assessment of patients to avoid admission. We are an integrated team supported by a social care practitioner, specialist nurses and consultant geriatricians. The service operates over seven days, between 8am and 6pm and the successful candidate will be rostered regular days of work within this.

The successful applicant will be able to demonstrate a flexible approach to the assessment of older adults in crisis, acknowledging the broad aspect of medical and social factors influencing frailty. In return, we are able to offer a supportive team with multi-disciplinary working, formal education to enhance your professional development and the opportunity to help shape our service.

You may already be a senior therapist looking for a new challenge or a Band 5 ready to make the move into a specialist area. As a band 6 you will be expected to perform to a high clinical standard, supervise staff and carry out service development. You will be supported by an experienced team leader.

We are committed to ensuring an inclusive and supportive recruitment process. If you would benefit from additional support—such as meeting the recruiting manager or visiting the interview environment in advance—please let us know when applying.
