Description

Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is committed to developing and future proofing it's model of being an Active Hospital.

As part of this we hope to continue to change the physical activity culture within our hospitals to encourage patients to move more.

The post holder will be supervised by the Active Ward Lead and supported by the Care of the Elderly physiotherapy team to work with patients and engage staff in supporting patients to be more physically active during their inpatient stay.

This role will involve providing support across 5 medical wards at North Tyneside General Hospital with the support of the Physiotherapy service, the Falls Matron and the Ward Managers.

They will provide opportunities to increase physical activity knowledge and skills. They will provide clinical leadership and to increase the frequency of physical activity conversation.
