We have an exciting opportunity for a Specialist Physiotherapist with acute inpatient and orthopaedic experience to join the Therapies team at our prestigious Harborne Hospital in Birmingham. This is a fantastic opportunity to work alongside some of the UK's leading orthopaedic and surgical consultants in a state-of-the-art hospital renowned for delivering exceptional patient care and clinical outcomes.

As a Specialist Physiotherapist, you will provide high-quality physiotherapy assessment, treatment and rehabilitation to patients within our acute inpatient setting. Working as part of a highly skilled multidisciplinary team, you will support patients throughout their post-operative recovery following major surgical procedures, with a particular focus on orthopaedics, while also gaining exposure to a varied caseload across surgical and critical care pathways.

You will manage your own caseload, prioritising and delivering evidence-based physiotherapy interventions to support recovery, improve functional outcomes and facilitate safe and timely discharge from hospital. Clinical support and guidance will be available from our experienced Advanced Physiotherapists, providing an excellent environment for ongoing learning and professional development.

This is a predominantly ward-based role, offering the opportunity to develop specialist clinical skills while working closely with colleagues across the wider therapies and medical teams. In addition to your clinical responsibilities, you will have opportunities to contribute to service development initiatives, audits and quality improvement projects, helping to further enhance the patient experience and therapy service.
