An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and experienced Physiotherapy Support Worker (Band

You will need to assist in the interpretation of information relevant to the patient’s condition/progress, identify problems and patient needs, setting realistic goals.

You will need to have excellent organisational skills combined with experience of working in a care setting, preferably a therapeutic one.
