The post holder will be a member of the specialist multidisciplinary palliative care team and will contribute to the effective provision of rehabilitation and therapy support.  He/she will undertake physiotherapy assessment and treatment of palliative care patients as an autonomous practitioner.  He/she will be required to support the physiotherapy provision across the Northern Ireland Hospice.  The post holder will therefore work across the Adult Inpatient Unit and Hub (outpatient) services.  The post holder will contribute to projects and teaching initiatives as a source of physiotherapy expertise and advice, and will actively and positively engage in their own development with support of their line manager and other relevant persons.
