Rotational Physiotherapist | and Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

The physiotherapy rotational scheme at York offers a fantastic opportunity to work within a wide range of clinical areas. Currently the rotations include:
Musculoskeletal outpatients, Acute wards such as Orthopaedics, Elderly, Medical, Surgery and Intensive Care, and Rehabilitation units, including Stroke, General Rehabilitation, Neurology, Paediatrics, Mental Health and Community rehabilitation. Each of our rotations is 6 months.

We are proud to offer our Multi‑Professional Preceptorship Programme to all newly registered practitioners. This is a wonderful opportunity to welcome you into new teams and our Trust, providing you with support and guidance as you develop in confidence and competence. The programme lasts for 12 months and includes dedicated time, away from clinical practice, to support new graduates’ transition from student to autonomous practitioner.

You will be assigned a preceptee who will support coach, mentor and guide you through regular meetings, alongside a programme of structured learning.

The trust will pay HCPC subscriptions for the first year of newly qualified staff. We are looking for staff who are keen to develop in role and want to put patient care at the centre of their practice.

Applicants are encouraged to provide examples of how they meet the required criteria on their application form.

Successful candidates will offer flexibility of working hours and availability.

As a qualified Registered Physiotherapist, you will be responsible for delivering effective safe and person‑centred care in a variety of clinical locations.

Rotations are listed above and within each area you will be encouraged to develop your knowledge, skills and confidence across the 4 pillars of practice:
Clinical, Leadership, Education and Research/Audit. Our rotations include acute and community hospitals, out patient clinics, and rehabilitation units. Prior to working on the on‑call rota you will engage in a comprehensive training programme, to support your clinical practice and skills development.

We are looking for applicants who are either already qualified, or who are currently studying and will have qualified and be eligible for HCPC registration by June 2026.

You should be able to present information in a clear, succinct, and logical manner, and should be able to demonstrate the relevance of your previous experiences to the needs of this organisation.

The permanent positions on the rotations may require the ability to transport yourself and equipment across the locality during a normal working day. Driving is beneficial in some rotations; candidates may wish to let us know if they don’t currently have a UK drivers' licence.
