Overview

The post holder will work as part of our friendly team supporting the physiotherapists with running gym classes as well as being responsible for your own caseload of patients, transferred to you by the MSK physiotherapists.


The gym classes contain both exercise and education elements so being confident talking to a group of people is a useful skill to have but you would be supported to develop this if necessary and hopefully progress to running some classes independently.


Clinically, you will be supported by the Physiotherapy Team, guiding you in the appropriate exercises and education to provide to patients under your care.


You will also be responsible for the day to day cleaning and planning maintenance of equipment, ordering of stock, inputting data onto our electronic patient administration system and assisting the team with quality improvement work.


You will need to be physically fit, have good communication skills and the ability to be flexible and adaptable. We expect you to be able to recognise when a situation falls outside of your level of responsibility and competency and be able to communicate this efficiently and effectively with other members of the team.


If you are appointed, you will become a valuable member of a friendly team who are committed to providing a high quality patient focussed service.


Responsibilities

  • Support physiotherapists by running gym classes and managing your own caseload of patients transferred by MSK physiotherapists.
  • Contribute to exercise and education elements in gym classes and develop group speaking confidence with support to progress to independent class delivery.

Why Edge Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

For years, computing innovation was focused on the cloud. But as demand for real-time analytics, low-latency processing and secure local data handling grows, edge computing has become the next frontier. From autonomous vehicles to healthcare monitoring devices, retail checkout systems to industrial IoT, edge computing is transforming how data is processed and used in the UK. This shift has also changed what it means to work in the field. Edge computing careers are no longer purely technical. They now require knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design, as professionals must consider regulation, human behaviour, communication & usability alongside engineering. In this article, we’ll explore why UK edge computing careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five fields intersect with edge roles, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this evolving landscape.

Edge Computing Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Edge Computing Department

Edge computing is expanding rapidly in the UK, driven by demands for low latency, on-site processing, IoT proliferation, autonomous systems, 5G, AI inference on devices, and regulatory pressures for data sovereignty. Businesses in sectors such as telecoms, industrial automation, retail, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and healthcare are pushing computation and intelligence closer to where data is generated. But to design, build, deploy, secure, and maintain edge computing systems requires more than just hardware or software — it requires structured teams with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. If you’re hiring, or applying for roles via EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, understanding who does what in a mature edge computing department will help you plan better, show relevance in job applications, and build resilient teams. This article covers the key roles in edge computing teams, how they collaborate through the project lifecycle, what skills and qualifications UK employers usually expect, salary benchmarks, challenges and trends, and best practices for structuring effective edge teams.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Edge Computing Jobs Hub

Edge computing is one of the most important technological shifts of the decade. As connected devices, sensors, and the Internet of Things (IoT) generate massive volumes of data, centralised cloud computing alone cannot always keep up. Businesses and governments need faster processing, lower latency, and secure, real-time insights. Edge computing—where data is processed closer to where it is generated—is the answer. From autonomous vehicles and smart cities to advanced healthcare and industrial automation, edge computing underpins the next wave of digital transformation. For professionals, this means an entirely new field of opportunity. Edge computing requires engineers, architects, analysts, cyber security specialists, and operations staff with highly specialised skills. The United Kingdom is particularly well-positioned to become a global edge computing jobs hub. With its strong infrastructure, thriving tech ecosystem, leading universities, and government commitment to digital innovation, the UK has many of the ingredients necessary to lead. This article explores why the UK could claim global leadership in edge computing careers, the sectors driving demand, and what must happen to make this vision a reality.
