The Trust is expanding their physiotherapy team to support the increase in demand across all services at this centre of orthopaedic excellence. As a result this new post has been created and provides an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic and driven individual to join the team.

You will be based in the Physiotherapy Gymnasium and the Hydrotherapy Department, providing one to one exercise based treatments and group sessions for clients with a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions including post Orthopaedic Surgery. Training will be provided for different conditions and procedures encountered, based around a competency framework and include basic hands-on and hydrotherapy treatment techniques.
Within the hospital’s specialist environment, the physiotherapy service is both lively and vital. The outpatient caseload includes GP, Consultant and Self-referred patients creating a mixture of acute, chronic and post-surgery or post-injury rehabilitation. The team provide specialist services within Sports Injuries, Functional Restoration and rehabilitation classes including oncology and paediatric patients.
Staff development is positively encouraged and supported by in-service training and external courses. All staff are involved in the quality management of the department through standard setting and audit.
