Come and join one of the UK’s largest providers of complex care. We proudly employ over 4000+ people - no matter what your experience, we have jobs for everyone.
This is a unique opportunity to lead the transformation of a specialist neurological rehabilitation service at a pivotal point in its journey.
We're looking for an ambitious Physiotherapist who sees opportunity where others see challenge — someone who is motivated by the chance to influence change, embed clinical excellence, and help create a rehabilitation service recognised for outstanding patient outcomes.
You'll join at a time of significant investment across our neurorehabilitation division, with the opportunity to shape not only the physiotherapy service and wider therapy team, but the future direction of the centre itself. A key part of this investment is the development of a brand-new, purpose-built, state-of-the-art neurorehabilitation gym, incorporating advanced rehabilitation technology, robotics and innovative treatment approaches. The new facility will feature a full suite of specialist equipment, including the Luna EMG Premium and ExoMotus M4, enabling therapists to deliver intensive, goal-oriented rehabilitation and maximise outcomes for the people we support. You'll have the opportunity to play an instrumental role in shaping this exciting new facility and ensuring it supports the delivery of exceptional neurological rehabilitation.
Please note - this advert will close once we have received a sufficient number of applications.
