Job responsibilities
Due to an increased workload of our orthopaedics caseload both in the week and over the weekends, we now have an opportunity for a Senior Physiotherapist at our Vale Hospital. Our expert physiotherapists are here to rehabilitate patients to optimal functional recovery following surgery.
The role will be one day per week in Outpatients seeing post-operative orthopaedic patients and 2 days as part of the Inpatient team treating these patients immediately after surgery. The 2 days within the Inpatient team will require working Saturday each week. The hospital is brilliantly placed to support and mentor the successful candidate for this role, alongside our academy training programs.
