You will forge strong links with the Community and specialist Teams and will be working closely with your Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Nurse colleagues.

The post demands flexibility, enthusiasm, and commitment, and is very rewarding as it is a role where you can make a real difference to our patients' clinical outcomes. The role will also provide opportunities for gaining new skills and job satisfaction.

As a team player, you'll be able to prioritise your work in order to meet deadlines and have a patient focused approach. Previous experience of working within complex case management including posture management is essential.
