Job summary
Berkshire Healthcare are seeking an organised and motivated person for a Band 5 Rotational Physiotherapist role.
Be part of our dynamic and exciting band 5 Physiotherapy rotation; a community rotation with an acute twist. Working in a community setting is incredibly rewarding - as well as getting the chance to help people stay in their local community and achieve their potential, we now also offer our band 5's the opportunity to rotate into the Royal Berkshire Hospital to complete acute rotations of your choice. We offer excellent In-service training, including one to one clinical development on each rotation participating in a robust teaching programme.
