Physiotherapist

Job overview

We are seeking a hard working, enthusiastic and determined individual to work in Hywel Dda UHB, and we welcome your application to join our friendly physiotherapy family. We recognise our staff are our greatest asset and are committed to creating a supportive environment to achieve a rewarding and satisfying career.

We consistently receive positive feedback on experience, not only for the excellent learning opportunities but of feeling valued and included in the team. Our Band 5 intake echoes this each year as the main reason they stay in the Health Board.

Main duties of the job

You will act as a core part of the Team, developing knowledge and skills across a wide range of clinical settings. Supported by an experienced and capable team, you will improve in terms of assessment and treatment skills across a spectrum of patient presentations, from the Acutely unwell, deteriorating patient through rapid discharge support or admission prevention to the management of chronic conditions.

As you gain confidence and capability, you will delegate work to our non-registrant staff, independently manage your caseload of patients or settings that you deliver a service to, run classes (dependent on setting) and be empowered to make meaningful changes to the department in terms of development of patient support material (leaflets, exercise programmes, presentations to patients and carers, etc), and support less experienced members of staff.

If you are appointable at interview, an option to join our Bank as a Physiotherapist can be considered.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply.
