Community Physiotherapist

Deadline to apply: 06 May 2026

Are you looking for a place to work that will offer you support and the opportunity to develop and embed your physio skills? Join us in Swadlincote Integrated Community Team with a well-established MDT and a wide range of multi pathologies.

The therapy team includes Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Support Workers who work closely with the wider multi-disciplinary team to provide rehabilitation to patients in their own home.

This post offers excellent opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge within a supportive environment with access to a preceptorship programme.

Essential requirements include good communication skills, ability to plan and organise, and evidence based care. You must have access to a vehicle for work purposes or be able to travel as required.

Main duties of the job

Our Integrated Community Services Teams are enthusiastic, with a breadth of experience, and share a goal to offer the highest standard of care.

Team members are expected to carry their own clinical caseload, attend regular therapy meetings, and undertake individual and joint therapy assessments and treatment sessions with MDT members where appropriate. Previous post qualification experience is desirable but not essential.

Rehabilitation is delivered to patients in their own homes with focus on improving health and well being, working toward patient centred goals, preventing hospital admission, or facilitating discharge home.

You will develop knowledge and experience around Falls and Frailty and Triage.
