We are looking for Physiotherapists to join our Band 6 Rotation with a strong focus on rehabilitation across Community Therapy Services (CTS), Mental Health Inpatients, Home First and Community Children's Integrated Therapies. This role is ideally suited to Physiotherapists who are keen to further develop their clinical skills and experience across diverse service areas. We welcome applications from current Band 6s or experienced Band 5s ready to progress.
You will join either the rotation in the Home First service or Community Children's Integrated Therapies.
Home First Oxfordshire is a countywide service that brings three important services together, all of which are carried out by social and health care teams in partnership with carefully selected care providers.
The Community Children's Integrated Therapy service provides Physiotherapy for children in their homes and in schools and the role is based in Oxford City.
This variety of experience will provide you with a breadth of knowledge and clinical skills, as well as developing your managerial and service development skills.
We will require you to be able to travel across Oxfordshire for both of these roles.
Applicants must have a full valid UK driving license and have access to a vehicle for work. Adjustments can be considered in line with the Equality Act 2010 where required.
This is a rotational post across different clinical areas within Oxford Health, where you will provide a high standard of Physiotherapy assessment and treatment to the population of Oxfordshire in various community and inpatient settings. The rotations take place across multiple services, with potential to expand into additional clinical areas in the future.
