Due to temporary internal changes an exciting opportunity has arisen to join our Community Stroke and Neuro team as a band 6 Physiotherapist on a fixed term basis, approximately one year period (dependent on start date) ending March 28th 2027. This is a community post so you will be seeing patients in their own homes.

You will be expected to provide a high standard physiotherapy service undertaking all aspects of clinical duties as an autonomous practitioner.

You will make recommendations to the clinical lead/manager of the service for changes to practice by the team, and may lead the implementation of specific changes to practice or contribute to development of service protocols.
