During the pandemic response we have led the implementation of public vaccination centres in collaboration with partners across health and social care.

Are you interested, in being part of a responsive, innovative and dynamic service, delivering therapeutic patient care in constantly changing environments?

We are looking for Physiotherapists to join our band 5 rotation working in friendly teams that are based across the North East Derbyshire and Chesterfield locality, within North Derbyshire.

You will rotate every 6 months between the in-patient community hospital, community rehab and MSK and Neurological out-patient physiotherapy teams.

This post is an excellent opportunity for a newly qualified physiotherapist to develop their skills and knowledge working within supportive environments.

You will need to have a BSc/Diploma in physiotherapy and be registered with the HCPC or an undergraduate student nearing course completion.

As the post will require some working in the community and the need to be able to work from different bases you will need access to transport.

Some of the teams operate over a 7-day service.

If you can demonstrate good communication skills, have the ability to plan and organise, competent, evidence based clinical care delivery we want to hear from you.
