As such we are advertising for both Band 6 and Band 7 Respiratory Physiotherapy posts, with full time and part time opportunities available.

Since our service spans the whole of South Cumbria and Lakes areas, you can expect that travelling between patient visits, clinics and programmes will be part of your community role, but what better part of the country to drive around? To accommodate this, your base would be negotiable between our Barrow or Kendal offices, travel expenses during work would be covered and you may also be eligible for the lease car scheme.

We are looking for new colleagues who share our ambition to deliver the highest quality, effective and efficient services to all of our patients across this varied geographical area with differing population needs. As such, part of your role will be to contribute to our programme of service improvement, audit and redesign.

 As one of our Physiotherapists, you would be working as part of a large Multi-disciplinary Community Respiratory Service, alongside Occupational Therapy, Nursing, therapy and administrative support colleagues, to delivered person-centred packages of Respiratory care. Therefore, you will need to be an excellent team player who shares our approach of person-centred therapy.

 The Morecambe Bay Respiratory Network (MBRN) is successfully improving the provision of Respiratory care to patients across our area, by promoting an integrated approach of Respiratory care delivery between General Practice, Community and Hospital teams. With this development brings the opportunity for you to develop close working relationships with the wider team, from Respiratory consultants to local GP practices. We have established Clinical best practice groups (e.g. for Pulmonary Rehabilitation) and you will also benefit from the MBRN rolling programme of Integrated Respiratory Education and a commitment to support your own personal development within our service.

Anyone newly appointed to the trust will be subject to the completion of a satisfactory 6 month probationary period (this includes bank staff). This will give the new staff member an opportunity to become familiar with the role and working environment.
