Community Physiotherapy Edinburgh Community Rehabilitation and Support Service (ECRSS)
Band 6 Specialist Physiotherapist Neurological Rehabilitation
36 hrs, Permanent
The Edinburgh Community Rehabilitation and Support Service currently provide high quality rehabilitation for people in Edinburgh who require support following a stroke. The Edinburgh Integrated Joint Board has agreed substantial funding to expand this service to also support individuals requiring specialist neurological rehabilitation for other neurological long term conditions.
We are seeking a Specialist Physiotherapist to join this wellestablished multidisciplinary team as it expands to support people with a wide range of neurological conditions. The service delivers rehabilitation in people’s homes, as well as through individual outpatient appointments and group sessions. The team works progressively, using technology to maximise rehabilitation outcomes, intervening early to support people to maximise their recovery and to live healthy lives in the community, meeting both their health and social needs.
The Physiotherapists are part of the wider Community Physiotherapy Services with access to regular in-service training. A strong professional supervision and support structure is in place.
The focus for the next three years, in line with EHSCP strategic priorities is to increase the capacity of our current community rehabilitation services, which includes ECRSS to enable more people to be discharged home from hospital as soon as they are medically ready to do so; to receive specialist rehabilitation in their own homes and to intervene early to support people with long-term conditions to live healthy lives. This is an exciting time for EHSCP to expand and redesign community rehabilitation services with the aim to provide better outcomes for people and create a positive place to work.
