Description:

We’re looking for a HCPC Registered Physiotherapist with broad-based post-registration experience, who wants to do impactful work as part of a team, to help people move forward with their lives.

We offer an annual salary of £38,760 plus an attractive benefits package. Our Physiotherapists have the opportunity to move into the Extended Healthcare Practitioner role after 6 months with a salary increase to £40,800. There’s further progression opportunities into an Advanced Practitioner role too.

You’ll carry out assessments to understand how a person's disability or health condition affects their daily life. After each assessment, you’ll produce a factual report enabling the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) decision maker to determine a customer’s eligibility for benefits. You may also find yourself working on more complex cases with customers who have neurological conditions.

We know that having the right people does make the difference to our customers’ lives. That’s why we go to great lengths to ensure our colleagues feel valued and rewarded for the work they do as well as support their worklife balance.

Essential Job Duties

As a Physiotherapist within our CHDA business, you’ll undertake a combination of file-work and face-to-face assessments in relation to a variety of benefits. These assessments will focus on how a disability affects day-to-day life in performing work-related activities, you’ll then utilise various IT platforms to support you in the clinical decision-making and produce a written report for the DWP.

Education and Experience Requirements

Our Physiotherapists play a pivotal role in supporting our customers to move forward with their lives, so we’ll support you through a formal training programme to enable you to carry out quality, sensitive and respectful functional assessments.

You’ll be a HCPC Registered Physiotherapist with a recent broad-based post-registration experience. You will need to be comfortable working to targets, open to feedback and have good IT skills along with having excellent communication skills, both oral and written, as well as being confident in working with a wide range of customers and the ability to handle challenging situations.

We are looking for Physiotherapists who are keen to learn and take a proactive approach. Previous experience of functional or disability assessment is desirable but not essential.

Due to COVID 19 all our Physiotherapists are currently undertaking telephone assessments until we can resume face-to-face assessments.
