Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to join our Therapy Service in Mid Notts as a Senior Physiotherapist working in the community. If you want to be part of a forward thinking and innovative service, this is the opportunity you have been looking for.
This post is an exciting opportunity for someone who is keen to take the D2A service in Mid Notts to a new level.

The post will involve cross-site working and community visits. A full UK driving licence and vehicle for business use is essential for this post; however, reasonable adjustments will be made for disabled individuals in line with the Equality Act 2010.
