An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 5 Physiotherapist to join our innovative and friendly Derby City Community First  Team (previously D2A team), providing physiotherapy services to a high standard to our local population in their own homes and local care homes. 

We are a short term service, with the team working to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions and also to facilitate early discharge from hospital/care homes. You will work closely with the patient in identifying, planning and reviewing their rehabiliatation goals to promote independence and self care.

You will work in partnership with Community First team members, service users, Derbyshire Community Health Services staff, UHDB colleagues, Social Care partners General Practice and other agencies as necessary to provide effective evidenced based care to a defined population.

This will be achieved through their contribution to and support of: effective delegation, case load management, monitoring of care standards, clinical leadership and the performance management of team members.
