Full job description

We have an exciting opportunity for a Therapy Assistant to join our team.

Directed and supervised by Qualified Therapists you will be working with patients on the wards in a busy acute hospital.

This role involves working hands-on with patients during their hospital admission to improve their mobility and self care routine [ie., washing & dressing]. Many patients are frail, elderly, or recovering from surgery or illness, and initially need full physical assistance with all basic care tasks. Our aim is to improve their mobility and independence with their activities of daily living so support them return home with minimal equipment and care support. There are also administrative tasks, equipment cleaning and record keeping.

This is a physically demanding job that requires good communication and interpersonal skills in addition to basic computer skills. You are required to write directly into the Medical notes and so a good standard of written work is essential. It is a busy but friendly working environment so you will need to be resilient, flexible and organised. You will be required to work one weekend a month and some public holidays as part of a rostered service.

Ideally you will have previous experience of working in a therapy, hospital, or care environment, however no professional qualifications are required and appropriate instruction and support will be provided.

To undertake general departmental duties such as cleaning, collation

Our ambition is to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and well being of our patients, and provide a vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.

We aim to make the most of our skills and experiences so we can become the best we can be. As one organisation we will recruit the finest and retain more specialist staff due to more employment opportunities across our Trust
