We are excited to offer an opportunity to join the Integrated Community Stroke Service, working as an Occupational Therapist / Physiotherapist delivering specialist stroke rehabilitation.

You will support patients within a defined geographical area, however, on occasion there may be a requirement to provide countywide cover in line with service needs.
