Description
We looking to recruit two experienced and motivated Therapy Assistant Practitioners within the Transition therapy team in Poole.

The roles will be varied and exciting and include community follow up with patients in their own home following a Patients rehabilitation journey from elderly Rehabilitation into the community.


You will require a car for use at work, to enable you to work autonomously in the community to visit patients, whilst adhering to local and Trust guidance on lone working.


This is an ideal opportunity if you have a keen interest in the patients journey through rehabilitation, working with patients from discharge form the acute hospitals all the way through to home-based exercise programmes.


Employment in this post requires an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which the Trust will cover the cost of.

Applicants who subscribe to the DBS update service are able to present a valid DBS certificate instead of requiring a new check.


We offer employment in a dynamic team, of Rehabilitation Assistants, Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists who work as part of a wider MDT.


You will be required to carry a clinical caseload of patients within Community hospital rehabilitation ward settings, D2A bedded units as well as within the patient's own homes following discharge.

You will be responsible for ensuring that patients benefit from high quality, evidence-based interventions, which you will deliver and record according to professional standards and legal requirements.


At Dorset HealthCare we're on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services.

It's also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference.

Whether you're looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.


Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do and our success is a testament to our brilliant people.

We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities and we celebrate diversity.

Working with us you'll be part of a strong team, challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don't know.

And you'll be working towards our vision to be better every day through excellence, compassion and expertise in all we do.
