Offer description

Who are we looking:

Are you bored and fed up working in an environment that prevents you from treating your patients to the best of your ability? Do you feel that you are forced to underserve your patients and only offer 'hands off' treatment when you know that your 'hands on' physiotherapy skills can make a huge positive impact on their symptoms and improve their quality of life?

Is your treatment restricted by budgetary and organisational constraints rather than based on clinical need and patient goals? Are you sick to death that you are only allowed to offer 1 or 2 treatment sessions to your patients and lack the time to deliver the rehabilitation that they deserve in order to return to doing the things that they love such as playing with their grandchildren of getting back on the golf course?

Is your personal and professional development and career path being dictated by waiting for others to 'move on' so that you can climb the next rung on your career ladder?

Do you have exciting and innovative ideas for patient rehabilitation that are being stifled by a pessimistic culture that accepts mediocrity as the norm or just takes too long to implement ideas and change? Do you have a passion for learning and development? Are you passionate about healthy living and promoting physical activity?

Can you communicate effectively with people from all different backgrounds –both written and verbal? Are you able to speak up when you see something that is not working and can you anticipate the needs of other people because you show up for work knowing that the smallest details always make the difference?

Do you have a positive outlook on life? Are your enthusiasm and ideas met with resistance to change and progression?

If so, we're looking for you

* A supportive and fun working environment where you will be a valued member of our team and your voice will be heard.
