You will work closely with dietetics, psychology, nursing and medical colleagues, alongside partner services at Guy's and St Thomas', to provide coordinated care.
You will contribute to developing and evaluating new initiatives, undertake audit and quality improvement, provide education to service users, carers and staff, and supervise junior physiotherapists and students as agreed with your supervisor.
Flexible Working
This is a part-time post of 22.5 hours per week. Flexible hours and working days can be agreed within service opening hours, taking account of clinical and team requirements.
