Join our team and take the next step in your physiotherapy career!

This is an exciting opportunity to progress  within our well-established and dynamic physiotherapy service, working across Watford General Hospital, St Albans City Hospital, and the West Hertfordshire Therapy Unit at Jacketts Field, Abbots Langley.

We are looking for an experienced band 5 or an existing band 6 looking to build on their skills through our rotational post.

Our Band 6 scheme offers rotations through both inpatients and outpatients, allowing the post holder to gain further experience within these varied settings.

The rotations are usually 6 months and rotate through:

• Emergency Department/Acute assessment unit
• Frailty
• Care of the Elderly
• Respiratory including ITU
• General medicine
• Surgical including outpatient Amputees
• Acute Stroke Unit
• Orthopaedics – trauma and elective (involving cross site working)    
• MSK.

Each rotation is supported by a robust senior tier with a wealth of experience to help guide and support in both your individual learning needs but to also strive to ensure that the best standards of care are provided. A well established probation and appraisal process is in place to help facilitate this.

The department is 7 day working and this post would be included in that rota (frequency of 1:4 - 1:6 weekends) with rest days in the following week, along with a requirement to be on the Respiratory on call evening rota.
