Description
Job summary
A great opportunity has arisen for a dynamic Band 6 Physiotherapist to join our friendly therapy team.
We are looking for an experienced physiotherapist with a special interest in the fields of Renal, Surgery and Critical Care to provide expert physiotherapy assessment and treatment to this group of patients.
The role will be based upon our large renal ward here at Kent and Canterbury and will also support a caseload on critical care. Our renal ward is the regional specialist unit and admits inpatients from across Kent as well as having an extremely busy out patient dialysis unit on site.
The successful applicant will also get the opportunity to support work on the surgical and haematology wards so it would suit an applicant with an adaptable nature and who likes an interesting and varied caseload. The team also work closely with our newly expanded vascular therapy team.
Previous applicants need not apply.
Main duties of the job
Band 6 Physiotherapists work closely with all users of our services and their families, friends and carers who all play an invaluable contribution in how our users experience our services. Band 6 Physiotherapists are expected to be kind and responsive but professional and informative and contribute to the quality of the services provided across the health economy. Main duties include:
About us
We are one of the largest hospital trusts in England, with five hospitals and community clinics serving a local population of around 695,000 people.
Our vision is 'great healthcare from great people'. Everything we do is guided by our values: 'People feel cared for, safe, respected and confident that we are making a difference'.
We have anew way of working at East Kent Hospitals, called 'We care'. It's about empowering frontline staff to lead improvements day-to-day. We're looking for compassionate people to be part of our improvement journey for the patients, families and carers we care for every day.
Applications for this role should be written by the applicant. If artificial intelligence (AI) programmes are used then the application may be rejected due to this document being an important part of the assessment process. This does not prevent applicants seeking appropriate support with applications should they need to for the purposes of any declared disability.
