This position requires the post holder(s) to be able to travel (often at short notice) between diverse clinical and non-clinical environments and bases, including patient’s homes, GP clinics, primary care facilities, community centres, hospitals, office spaces and residential/nursing homes, so access to reliable transport is essential. There is also a regular expectation to independently transport bulky and/or heavy equipment.

The successful applicant(s) will rotate between our inpatient rehabilitation service at the Stamford Unit, the Community Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy team, the Integrated Urgent Crisis Team, the Community Neurological Rehabilitation Team and MSK outpatient clinics.
You will need a BSc/MSc/Diploma in Physiotherapy and professional registration with the HCPC, or be an undergraduate student nearing course completion.
Some of our therapy services operate a 7-day service so you will be required to work weekends, late/early shifts and bank holidays.
To provide skilled physiotherapy assessment, treatment and advice to patients in a variety of community settings that include; Musculoskeletal Outpatients, Inpatient Intermediate care, Integrated Urgent Care Team (IUCT), Community Physiotherapy and Community Neuro Rehab Team.
