The successful candidate will have the opportunity to rotate between the Stroke, and Neurorehabilitation pathways. We are also hoping to extend these rotations onto the acute stroke unit in the near future.

The variety of Stroke and Neuro patients that we come across on a daily basis will allow you to extend your clinical knowledge and clinical reasoning in this field of practice.

Working within the service requires you to demonstrate excellent problem-solving skills and forward thinking. The ability to work within a fast paced and pressured environment is essential, along with having excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is ideally situated just a forty five minute drive from Manchester. The Trust provides services to the 440,000 residents of Blackpool, Fylde & Wyre and North Lancashire, as well as specialist tertiary care for Cardiac and Haematology patients.

As one of the United Kingdom’s largest coastal resort, Blackpool has plenty to offer its residents – it’s not just a good place to work; it’s a great place to live. In addition to its bustling centre and historic seafront, the town is world famous for its many attractions, including the famous Blackpool Tower. Blackpool also offers a number of scenic cycling routes round our local parks and across the surrounding countryside, as well as boasting panoramic views of the coast on its picturesque Promenade. Further afield, Blackpool also benefits from less than three-hour connections via rail to Edinburgh in the north and London in the south.

We recommend that all individuals employed in patient facing roles, or those located on a ward or department where patients receive a service should be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
