Salary: Competitive salary (in line with AFC pay scales)

Organisation: Millbrook Healthcare

We are looking for a Clinical Lead to join the team at our Hampshire Wheelchair Service Centre. Millbrook Healthcare, on behalf of the NHS CCG(s), ensures that all service users receive the wheelchair equipment they require to meet their clinical mobility needs, as determined by the clinical team following referral to the service.

We are a fast growing business and a leading provider of healthcare service solutions including wheelchair services. We work closely with NHS and social care organisations, providing a completely outsourced wheelchair service that aims to significantly reduce costs, deliver better quality and an enhanced patient experience.

Our mission is to provide a service that will ensure all service users receive care, assessment and mobility equipment at the time they require it to enable them to achieve theirs and their families’ goals.

About the role:

  • To provide clinical leadership, expertise and innovation to the wheelchair clinical team, who will come from a background of occupational therapy, physiotherapy, clinical support and rehabilitation engineering
  • To provide the clinical input for all service users, their families and carers, working closely with the multi-disciplinary team supporting the user
  • To provide links between service users and other teams such as wheelchair skills training
  • To develop links with “hard to reach” sectors of the local community by close liaison with the referrers, particularly local therapists

What are we looking for in a Clinical Lead?

  • Minimum 5 years post registration experience in the physical field, working with patients with long-term and deteriorating medical conditions, including palliative care and an understanding of the impact of these conditions on patient’s lives
  • A BSc degree or diploma in Occupational Therapy or Physiotherapy
  • Current HCPC/NMC registration
  • Previous experience of working as an occupational therapist/physiotherapist/nurse at AFC Band 7/8a
  • Experience of staff supervision and appraisals
  • Previous experience of working in a wheelchair service is preferred but not essential if you have experience in related fields such as neurology, paediatrics and equipment provision
  • Current full UK driving licence is essential – minimum of 3 years
  • Strong interpersonal and diplomacy skills combined with the ability to manage a varied workload are also a must for this exciting position
  • We’re looking for a highly motivated individual who’s keen to balance their experience of managing a customer focused service with a clinical case load

What can we offer you?

  • Competitive salary (in line with AFC pay scales)
  • Up to 33 days holiday (including bank holidays plus option to take additional 5 days leave unpaid)
  • 5% enhanced employer contribution pension scheme
  • Private medical insurance
  • Life assurance
