You will work as an autonomous practitioner in the delivery of a physiotherapy service across various clinical specialties through a rotational programme. Four monthly rotations will include Medical/Respiratory, Orthopaedic, Neuro, Community, Front of house and MSK.

You will use evidence-based/client-centred principles to assess, plan, implement and evaluate interventions in primary, community and secondary care settings.
