This is a unique opportunity to be part of an innovative model of care that brings together health and social care professionals to deliver more joined-up, person-centred support within local communities.

• Assess, plan, implement and evaluate physiotherapy interventions for patients within community settings.
• Deliver rehabilitation and reablement programmes to support independence and recovery.
• Support admission avoidance initiatives by providing timely assessment and intervention.
• Contribute to proactive care planning for individuals with complex and long-term conditions.
• Develop and review personalised goals with patients, carers and families, supporting progression towards agreed outcomes.
• Work closely with multidisciplinary colleagues including occupational therapists, nurses, social workers, support workers, paramedics, GPs and other healthcare professionals.
• Promote self-management, health promotion and preventative approaches to care.
• Maintain accurate clinical records and contribute to service development and quality improvement initiatives.
• Participate in team meetings, case discussions and collaborative care planning.
