An exciting opportunity has arisen to recruit an experienced, highly motivated and enthusiastic Physiotherapist within the Home First Service.

The Home First Service is a community based, multidisciplinary team (MDT) who provide health and social care for patients in Doncaster. Clinically you will work with patients in their own homes or in care home settings as an autonomous Physiotherapy practitioner. A key benefit of this post is that after 18-24 months in role we will support you to develop your career into Advancing Practice. With access to the required clinical supervision and study leave to support this development opportunity.

The Physiotherapist will provide high level clinical expertise, knowledge and skills in the assessment and treatment of patients in both the UCR service and the Virtual Wards. You will work alongside the wider MDT to optimise the rehabilitation and recovery of your patients, enabling them to remain at home and function to their best ability in their community. 

The candidate will be expected to work as an effective and responsible member of the team, supporting and developing others within the wider MDT and be open to new and innovative ways of working. 

Due to the nature of the post, provisionally selected applicants will be asked to apply for a disclosure from the Criminal Records Bureau.
