Providing match-day and camp cover: pitch-side clinical support for league fixtures, plus medical cover at U21 and U18 national training camps and international matches
Supporting athlete progression: tracking and rehabilitating exile and pathway players in collaboration with their clubs, ensuring players return to camp physically prepared and meeting national standards
Maintaining clinical excellence: keeping accurate, up-to-date records on the national Athlete Management System, and supporting IDP/APP reviews under the direction of physiotherapy and performance leads
What we’re looking for:
A degree in Physiotherapy, current HCPC registration, and CSP membership, with 1–2 years' experience as a qualified physiotherapist
Previous exposure to contact sport environments (rugby experience preferred), with pitch-side trauma certification held or in progress
