Physiotherapist

The closing date is 20 January 2026
. This post is open to newly qualified professionals and those returning to practice, and we welcome applications from individuals at the start of their career or re-entering the workforce.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and creative Band 5 Physiotherapist to join the Newquay Therapy In-patient Team.

We are looking for a flexible, reliable person who enjoys working as part of a wider multi‑disciplinary team.

The community post will involve working mainly on the ward within the wider MDT but may also include community visits to follow those patients up in the community.

You will be working with a complex and varied caseload, covering a wide variety of conditions including orthopaedics, MS, MND, Parkinson's, amputees, falls and frailty.

You will be very well supported by our experienced and highly skilled team of Band 6 and 7 therapists and nurses across all teams, with opportunities for joint work and shadowing more specialist services, attending our monthly in‑service training. We fully encourage and support training for further development identified in regular supervision and appraisals.

We are hoping this will form part of a wider Band 5 rotational scheme in the future – aiming to start with North Kerrier Community Rehab Team.

This job is currently only open to people who already work for the NHS in Cornwall or the Isles of Scilly. We are committed to supporting our dedicated staff, so only current employees of the following organisations can apply:

• Cornwall Foundation Trust
• Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust
• Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board

If you do not currently work for one of these NHS organisations, your application will not be considered at this time.

• Assessing new patients on the inpatient unit and possibly in the patient's homes including residential and nursing homes.
• Setting treatment goals and following out treatment plans.
• Discharge planning collaborating closely with the OT team.
• Liaising with the wider multidisciplinary team to enable the patient to reach their goals.

We're an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital‑based care to improve people's physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.

We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.

Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.

We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.

Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increases the numbers of people who use our services.
