About the Role: Physio/Sports Therapist
Activate Learning is seeking an enthusiastic, ambitious, and dedicated physiotherapist or sports therapist to join its Academy & Colleges Education (ACE) rugby programme.
In this role, you'll play a vital part in supporting the programme’s goal of establishing a top-tier performance development pathway for young rugby players with professional aspirations. Collaboration is key, and you will work closely with other physiotherapists, strength, and conditioning coaches, as well as our coaching and management teams.
This is a fixed-term, part-time role working 15 hours per week (FTE 0.34) at Harcourt Hill Campus, Oxford to cover maternity leave. Working days are Monday, Wednesday and Friday to fit around the player's rugby programme. This contract ends in May 2027.
What do you need to be successful as a Physio/Sports Therapist at Activate Learning?
The ideal candidate will prioritise student wellbeing, with a strong emphasis on safeguarding. You should be well-organised, adaptable, and able to remain calm under pressure.
In this key role supporting the development of aspiring rugby players, your ability to deliver compassionate and professional care to injured athletes, ensuring they receive the appropriate treatment and rehabilitation for a safe return to play, is essential.
A degree in physiotherapy, along with active registration with professional bodies such as CSP, HCPC, BASRAT, or SST, is preferred. While a pitch-side qualification is advantageous, it is not mandatory.
