Rotational Physiotherapist

Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to join a Band 5 Physiotherapy Rotation in the South West?

Sirona Care & Health are looking to recruit highly motivated physiotherapists who will deliver a high quality service and thrive on the opportunities this post offers. Sirona Care & Health are moving to an innovative integrated network model with emphasis on admission prevention, rapid acute management and long‑term self‑management, enabling patients to live better lives in their own environment.

We have locality‑based rotations which include core and specialist areas such as MSK, LD, Neurology, Paediatrics, falls, respiratory and community (supporting Discharge to Assess, Prevention of Admission and Community Therapy pathways). You will be working in a variety of locations – patients’ homes, outpatient clinics, community rehab beds, etc.

Rotations are six months long with an excellent induction, supervision and training framework you will engage in immediately. Sirona Care & Health also supports students across the organisation and there will be opportunity for you to support student placements as you develop your own knowledge and skills. This highly supportive culture enables junior clinicians to develop into effective, autonomous clinicians with a broad range of transferable skills.

Based at various locations around the BNSSG region, you will be responsible for a busy physiotherapy caseload, working within experienced and supportive teams.

Your responsibilities will include:

• 
  
• Act as an autonomous physiotherapist practitioner, providing assessment and treatment, and managing your own patient caseload within a speciality team, with the support and mentoring of senior physiotherapists.
  
• Rotate to different clinical areas across the region. Each rotation will have clear learning objectives to consolidate and build on graduate skills and academic knowledge.
  
• Plan and prioritise your own workload, delegating tasks as appropriate and communicating progress with the multi‑disciplinary team.
  
• Supervise and train students as required.
  
• Communicate effectively with patients and carers to progress treatment programmes and provide reassurance.
  
• Use clinical reasoning and treatment skills to deliver personalised treatment plans based on evidence‑based practice.
  
• Maintain accurate patient records in line with guidelines.
  

A valid UK driving licence and access to a car for work purposes are essential requirements for roles within Sirona Care & Health.
