Clinical Lead Physiotherapist - Occupational Health

Clinical Lead Physiotherapist – Occupational Health

Join to apply for the Clinical Lead Physiotherapist – Occupational Health role at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Are you a Physiotherapist with Occupational Health experience looking to further develop your career, with opportunities to build strategic and clinical experience and have an impact? If this sounds like you, we have a unique opportunity that is too good to miss.

Looking after the wellbeing of our workforce has never been such a high priority. The NHS has faced unprecedented challenges in the last few years, and our teams achieve amazing things every day, putting our patients at the heart of everything they do. We are just as passionate about supporting them and need you to join us to provide and further develop a rapid access physiotherapy service which is responsive to the needs of our workforce and takes a preventative approach. You will also support delivery of our broader health and wellbeing strategy, helping us develop a culture where caring compassionately for our staff is embedded in everything that we do.

MSK conditions are the second highest reason for sickness absence within our organisation. Supporting our colleagues back to work or helping them stay at work is a key priority for us.

You will provide a proactive service for our workforce, using your clinical expertise to comprehensively assess and formulate individual treatment and management plans. This might involve functional workplace assessments and the provision of ergonomic advice. You will work closely with our core Occupational Health service to ensure that relevant advice is provided to managers to inform them about how to keep colleagues safe at work and support them through adjustments. You will be someone who thrives in a busy environment, and you will be able to independently manage your clinical caseload.

We have an ambitious programme of work around preventing MSK injury in the workplace, and you will be part of a multi-disciplinary project team, driving awareness, education and risk assessment.

Your passion and enthusiasm for your specialism will help us make a difference for our workforce. The workload is diverse, a commitment to professional development is crucial and you will also have the skills to continually evaluate the work of the team to ensure we are making impact where it counts.

We have 10,000 fantastic people working hard to deliver quality services to our patients. Whatever your role, you help look after 370,000 people in our local area and give specialist care to 1.5 million people across Lancashire and Cumbria.

Working with us gives you the knowledge and sense of pride that every activity you do genuinely does make a difference to support our patients and staff, ensuring we keep thriving and delivering outstanding healthcare right across our local towns.

You’ll have access to varied development opportunities, learn new skills, meet fab people and do things you’d never have done. You’ll learn about working in a hospital, interacting with people from all different roles to build skills and enhance your career path.

You’ll make an impact, be challenged to think differently, be bold and help innovate to keep improving things. Everything we do centres around patient care which means your role is pivotal and something really to be proud of.
