Join to apply for the Highly Specialist Physiotherapist role at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust
We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Highly Specialist Physiotherapist to work as part of our community neurological rehabilitation service based at Colchester General Hospital and working within the surrounding North East Essex community.
This fixed-term post is to cover maternity leave with an end date of 30th April 2026.
We are an established and respected multi-disciplinary outpatient and community team providing long-term management for people with neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Motor Neuron disease, and traumatic brain injury. We also provide vestibular rehabilitation services.
Due to the community working nature of the role (working in clinics in Harwich and Clacton and home visits), a car owner and driver is essential.
You will work alongside other Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Clinical Psychologists, a Neuro Nurse Specialist, and Rehabilitation Assistants to lead and develop services. Experience in managing all neurological conditions is required, with specialist skills and knowledge in working with people with MND, Parkinson’s Disease, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), and Cortico-basal Syndrome (CBS) being desirable.
We work closely with other agencies, including the voluntary sector, to provide person-centred care. You will be an excellent communicator with proven knowledge, leadership skills, and experience working with people with neurological conditions and their families. We seek someone passionate about promoting and developing the service.
We are ESNEFT, serving nearly one million people across east Suffolk and north Essex. Our staff deliver care from hospitals in Colchester and Ipswich, community hospitals, clinics, and in patients’ homes.
We are among the largest NHS organizations in England, employing over 12,000 staff. We support our staff with training, development, flexible working, a generous pension scheme, unsocial hours payments (where applicable), 27 days annual leave (pro-rata), and NHS discounts. Our Staff Health and Wellbeing program offers various services.
Our philosophy is that Time Matters to everyone. We focus on improving processes and removing delays for staff and patients. We are investing in digital transformation with Epic, a leading electronic patient record system, to enhance life in hospital for staff and patients.
If you are passionate about patient care and eager to develop your skills and knowledge, we want to hear from you.
