Come and join one of the UK's largest independent providers in neuro and mental healthcare. We proudly employ over 4000+ people - no matter what your experience, we have jobs for everyone.

We are looking for a passionate part-time Physiotherapist to join an innovative and forward-thinking team. Could this be your next career move?

The successful candidate will join a dynamic multidisciplinary team delivering a full range of therapies to both inpatients and outpatients. You will play a key role in supporting individuals who have experienced catastrophic, life-changing injuries, helping them regain function, independence, and confidence through a holistic, person-centred approach to rehabilitation.

Main duties of the job

Active Neuro has recently invested in the refurbishment of our Birmingham service and introduced state-of-the-art robotic technology to enhance the outcomes we deliver to our clients. A comprehensive suite of equipment, including systems such as the Luna EMG Premium and the ExoMotus M4, enables physiotherapists to deliver intensive, goal-focused rehabilitation and achieve measurable progress with our clients.

Our services also include a high dependency unit supporting clients with tracheostomies, providing opportunities to deliver rehabilitation, chest management, and ongoing maintenance care.

We are committed to supporting your professional development. You will receive ongoing training and CPD opportunities, with the chance to contribute to service development and innovation. We actively encourage research and development with our local university partners, and you will be part of a team passionate about advancing therapy practice, engaging in research, and potentially presenting evidence-based work that showcases the impact of physiotherapy.

Conference attendance and professional networking are a regular part of the role, as we work closely not only with NHS colleagues but also with clients who self-fund their rehabilitation, as well as medico-legal case managers and solicitors.

The role:

This is a 18.75-hour per week position, with days and times to be agreed in collaboration with the successful candidate. The 2.5 day-a-week structure makes it ideal for individuals who have other professional, academic, or personal commitments, offering genuine flexibility in how the role is integrated into your schedule. This opportunity allows you to apply and develop your neurorehabilitation expertise within a supportive team, while also maintaining the freedom to pursue interests in other specialties or client groups.

How Many Edge Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an Edge Computing Job?

If you’re trying to start or grow a career in edge computing, it can feel like you’re navigating a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms — Kubernetes, Docker, IoT frameworks, AWS Greengrass, Azure IoT Edge, OpenShift, TinyML toolkits, networking orchestration, real-time streaming frameworks, and on it goes. Scroll job boards and community forums and it’s easy to conclude that unless you master every buzzword imaginable, you’ll never get a job. Here’s the honest truth most edge computing hiring managers won’t necessarily say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every edge computing tool — they hire you because you can solve real system problems using the tools you know. Tools matter, yes — but only when they support clear outcomes: reliable systems, performance at scale, secure edge deployments and real business value. So how many edge computing tools do you actually need to know to secure a job? For most edge computing roles, the answer is fewer than you think — and a lot clearer when sorted by fundamentals and roles. This guide shows you what matters, what doesn’t, and how to focus your time wisely so you come across as capable, confident and employable.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Edge Computing Job Applications (UK Guide)

In today’s fast-evolving tech landscape, edge computing is one of the most sought-after fields — blending distributed systems, embedded systems, networking, cloud, IoT, data and real-time processing. But that also means hiring managers are highly selective. They scan applications fast and look for signals of relevance, impact, technical depth and real-world delivery long before they read every line. This guide demystifies what hiring managers in edge computing look for first in your application — so you can tailor your CV, portfolio and cover letter to jump out of the stack. Whether you’re targeting edge systems roles, embedded IoT edge jobs, edge-native data roles, edge platform engineering or edge-AI positions, this checklist will help you position your experience in a way hiring managers can trust immediately.

The Skills Gap in Edge Computing Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Edge computing is rapidly moving from niche concept to critical infrastructure. As organisations deploy connected devices, sensors, autonomous systems and real-time analytics, processing data closer to where it is generated has become essential. From smart cities and manufacturing to healthcare, transport, defence and telecommunications, edge computing underpins systems where latency, reliability and resilience matter. Demand for edge computing skills across the UK is rising steadily — yet employers consistently report difficulty finding candidates who are genuinely job-ready. Despite growing interest and academic coverage, universities are not fully preparing graduates for real edge computing jobs. This article explores the edge computing skills gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they consistently miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in edge computing.
