JOB OVERVIEW

Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust are working together with Adult Social Care across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR) in order to deliver a HomeFirst service offer alongside core Community Therapy.
As a result there has been significant investment in staffing in order to ensure that services can be delivered by the right therapist in the right place at the right time, and to ensure that the local population across LLR receive timely high quality therapy.

This is therefore a really exciting time to be joining this our service which brings together an integrated health and social care offer delivered by community-based nursing, therapy and adult social care teams and will allow you to use your therapy skills to:

• support people to remain in their homes when they are having a health or social care crisis, rather than needing to go into hospital or a care home
• help people get home from hospital quickly and provide them with rehabilitation and reablement to help restore their health, well-being and independence
• deliver high quality core therapy reablement, rehabilitation and recovery to people within their own homes

For more information about the role/opportunities please contact Alice Collins, Operational lead, via e-mail alice.collins6@nhs.net or via telephone 07833049262.

You will work alongside Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists carrying out comprehensive functional assessments and interventions in order to help our patients live as independently as possible. These interventions may include progression of exercises and mobility assessments, assessments of activities of daily living and rehabilitation. You will also be required to carry out general administration and clerical duties.
