• Community Physiotherapy Services

As well as gaining valuable experience throughout the medical pathway and specialist medicine, you will also get an opportunity to develop your managerial and supervisory skills.

Attendance at post registration courses is supported and there are comprehensive library and computer facilities on site.
King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is a large trust providing specialist services to the region and also serving a large local population. There are over 130 physiotherapy staff working on three sites, however a cohesive team approach is maintained through regular in-service training and staff meetings. Students are also regularly on placement from local universities.
We invite applications from HCPC-registered Physiotherapists with a very sound all-round experience, including acute medicine, elderly rehab, neurological and respiratory rotations at Band 5 level as well as a good insight into falls services and discharge planning.
