Job summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated Band 6 Physiotherapist to join the newly established Burren Intermediate Care Beds Service.
The Burren is a new intermediate care service providing a dedicated step-down pathway for patients who are medically optimised for discharge from acute hospitals but require continued rehabilitation, recovery support, assessment and discharge planning before returning home. The service currently comprises 32 intermediate care beds alongside an additional bariatric pathway and plays a vital role in supporting patient flow across the BNSSG system.
