Community Physiotherapist

Are you passionate about delivering exceptional community-based therapy, allowing service users to improve their quality of life? Are you committed to a Home First ethos, where people can rehabilitate in their own environment?

Our Therapists support hospital discharges, admission avoidance and long term self‑management, enabling patients to live better lives in their home environment. We also provide Planned (Domiciliary) therapy to ensure patients are assessed and supported early to maintain their optimal level of independence and avoid longer term concerns. We provide active rehabilitation to patients in their place of residence to maximise functional potential and support them to remain independent within their homes.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Physiotherapist to join our busy and dynamic team and promote independence and choice for our service users and their carers.

In return, we’ll give you the opportunity to develop specialist skills and enhance your multidisciplinary working; we will provide you with regular training and supervision opportunities as well as the opportunity to develop your leadership skills.

We offer a flexible service which covers extended hours operating 7 days a week, to support our service user needs. Working arrangements include weekends and bank holidays on a rota basis.
