Job summary

\*Internal applicants who wish to be considered for a secondment opportunity should discuss with their line manager the suitability of apossible secondment\*

The Complex Care at Home Service (CC@H) are looking for an experienced and creative physiotherapist to join their existing therapy team for six months as a secondment/fixed term contract. Our service provides proactive, preventative case management to people living with frailty and complex health and care needs. We work with adults with long term conditions that live in Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Forest of Dean.

You will be visiting people in their own homes and supporting them to live well and improve their resilience. Uniquely our focus is on what matters to them and their concerns allowing us to be truly person centred.

Our service covers 3 geographical areas of Gloucestershire, with some patients living in remote areas; so being a car driver and having access to a vehicle is essential to this role (mileage will be paid).

The post holder will use case management techniques to prevent avoidable deterioration in people's health and ultimately reducing the occurrence of unplanned hospital admissions.

The post holder will undertake all aspects of clinical duties as an autonomous practitioner with support and guidance from the Therapy Team lead and Physiotherapy Professional Lead.
