Senior Physiotherapist / Occupational Therapist - UCR

We are seeking a compassionate and dedicated Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist to join our dynamic Urgent Community Response (UCR) team. In this role, you will provide high quality, person‑centred care through timely assessment, clinical reasoning, intervention planning, and evaluation to support people to remain safely at home and avoid unnecessary hospital admission.

As an experienced AHP, you will manage a defined caseload, working autonomously and within professional guidelines to deliver evidence‑based rehabilitation and urgent response interventions. You will play a pivotal role in meeting the needs of patients and their families, promoting independence, optimising function, and supporting improved health and wellbeing.

Your practice will reflect the values of compassion, competence, communication, courage, and commitment, ensuring care is comprehensive, culturally sensitive, and truly centred on the individual.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to further develop your AHP career within a fast‑paced and rewarding service, where your skills will make a tangible difference to patients and their families at moments of urgent need.

If you are passionate about delivering high quality, patient‑centred care and meet the above requirements, we would love to hear from you.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provides joined‑up mental and physical healthcare for around two million people across our communities. With over 13,000 staff working in the community and local hospitals, we deliver care at every stage of life, helping people live their best and healthiest lives.

Our mental health services include community‑based support and early intervention in psychosis (EIP) for both adults and young people, alongside a network of specialist inpatient wards covering forensic, learning disability, eating disorder and older person's care.

We deliver extensive physical health services too, from urgent community response teams helping frail and older patients remain safely at home, to hospitals at home teams providing acute-level care in familiar surroundings. Our neurological services offer rehabilitation and treatment for conditions including Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, Motor Neurone Disease, Head Injury, Cerebral Palsy and Stroke. Across Hampshire, our community hospitals provide inpatient rehabilitation as a step down from acute care, and our dedicated teams also staff Treetops Sexual Assault Referral Centre in Portsmouth, offering expert, compassionate support.

Everything we do is underpinned by our CARE values of compassion, accountability, respect and excellence.
