This creates a shared sense of purpose, creating a truly rewarding role. Alongside your well-honed and varied physiotherapy skills you will be utilising health coaching and motivational interviewing skills to improve a person's health and wellbeing. The role is rewarding and challenging but never boring!
You will be supported by the Therapy team Lead, alongside your other therapy colleagues. You will have regular one-to-one Clinical Supervision from both your Lead within the service and one of the Locality Physiotherapy Leads.
The service is committed to your career progression, and we encourage and support CPD including Masters level modules and opportunities to develop within the service. Career progression can include clinical pathways such as Community Matron roles, all within the service.
