Physiotherapist

This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, experienced, and motivated physiotherapist to work alongside our well-established, experienced respiratory physiotherapy team who will provide ongoing support and guidance.

The role will be training parents, family members, carers and health care professionals on respiratory management plans (chest physiotherapy techniques, positioning and suction), and developing an online training programme with established training materials with support and guidance from the team.

The job will also be assessing and treating respiratory inpatients and outpatients including recurrent chest infections, patients with long term conditions such as cystic fibrosis/bronchiectasis and patients with multiple and complex care needs e.g. cerebral palsy. The post holder will also have responsibility for a therapy student.
