Full job description

We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Band 7 Physiotherapist to lead the Health Care of the Older Person (HOP) inpatient physiotherapy service at Torbay Hospital.

This is a senior clinical leadership role combining advanced physiotherapy expertise with operational and team management responsibilities. You will lead a team delivering high-quality, patient-centred care to older adults with complex needs, including frailty, multimorbidity, cognitive impairment, and functional decline.
Working within a fast-paced acute environment, you will play a key role in improving patient flow, reducing length of stay, and preventing deconditioning, supporting a “home first” approach to care.

You will provide visible leadership across multiple wards, ensuring safe staffing, effective use of resources, and the delivery of evidence-based, compassionate care. The role includes a clinical caseload alongside responsibility for team performance, workforce planning, and service improvement.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape and develop services for older people within an integrated system, working collaboratively across acute, community, and social care interfaces.

Provide clinical and operational leadership to the Health Care of the Older Person physiotherapy team to deliver safe, effective, high-quality care

Manage a specialist clinical caseload involving complex frailty, multimorbidity, and cognitive impairment

Lead physiotherapy input into multidisciplinary team (MDT) working, supporting coordinated care and patient flow

Drive proactive discharge planning and support safe, timely transitions of care

Promote rehabilitation, recovery, and independence within a “home first” and deconditioning prevention model

Supervise, appraise, and develop physiotherapy staff, support workers, and students

Coordinate staffing, rota management, and workforce deployment across inpatient wards

Monitor service performance, contributing to reduced length of stay and improved outcomes

Lead service development, audit, and quality improvement initiatives

Ensure compliance with clinical governance, professional standards, and Trust policies

Work collaboratively across organisational boundaries to support integrated care pathways

Act as a clinical expert and role model for complex decision-making and high-risk cases

These duties reflect the requirement to balance advanced clinical practice with leadership, workforce management, and service delivery responsibilities.

Why Work With Us

You will join a compassionate and forward-thinking multidisciplinary team within Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust. The service is committed to delivering proactive, person-centred care and fostering a supportive culture where staff are encouraged to learn, innovate, and contribute to service improvement.

Please note: Priority will be given to applicants with recognised 'Priority' or 'At Risk' status, including NHS staff identified across Devon .

You will act as an autonomous practitioner, delivering advanced physiotherapy assessment and intervention for older adults with complex physical, cognitive, and behavioural needs. You will lead on rehabilitation planning, risk management, and decision-making in complex clinical situations, ensuring care is safe, person-centred, and aligned with patient goals.

You will also act as a clinical expert in frailty, supporting colleagues in managing complex patients, contributing to multidisciplinary decision-making, and influencing care across the urgent care pathway.

The post holder will provide professional and operational leadership to physiotherapy teams across HOP wards and short-stay areas. This includes day-to-day workforce management, supervision, performance management, and staff development.

You will promote a positive, inclusive team culture, supporting learning, reflective practice, and continuous improvement, while ensuring safe staffing, effective skill mix, and high-quality service delivery.

You will lead the organisation and prioritisation of service delivery across multiple inpatient wards, ensuring responsive and efficient allocation of physiotherapy resources. This includes rota coordination, managing referrals, and balancing capacity with demand in a dynamic environment.

You will support effective discharge planning, contributing to reduced length of stay, avoidance of hospital-acquired deconditioning, and improved patient flow.

The role requires highly developed communication skills to manage complex, sensitive discussions with patients, families, and professionals. You will work collaboratively with medical, nursing, therapy, and social care teams to ensure coordinated care and effective transitions between services.

You will represent physiotherapy within MDT and multi-agency meetings, providing specialist advice on rehabilitation, discharge planning, and ongoing care needs.

You will ensure compliance with professional standards, Trust policies, and clinical governance frameworks, maintaining high standards of documentation and care delivery.

The post holder will lead and contribute to audit, research, and quality improvement initiatives, embedding evidence-based practice and driving service innovation.

You will manage a complex workload, balancing clinical and leadership duties while responding flexibly to changing service demands. Responsibilities include prioritisation of care, workforce planning, and escalation of risks affecting service delivery.

The role involves working across multiple inpatient wards in a busy acute setting, requiring adaptability and resilience. You will manage physically demanding clinical activity, frequent decision-making under pressure, and emotionally challenging situations associated with caring for frail older adults.
