We are looking for an enthusiastic, caring physiotherapist to come and join our dynamic physiotherapy team.  We are interested in applicants who are ready to start now, or qualifying this year with an aim to stat July- September.

The physiotherapy department is extremely supportive of all staff and especially to it's new Band 5's. We expect our Band 5's to show initiative and of course work hard, but alongside that we provide nurture, encouragement, training and support. Departmental training is provided and there is even a training programme for all Band 5's to help you develop your non-clinical skills.Not only is it an excellent place to work, but it's also an excellent place to live as it is very close to the vibrant city of Brighton where many of our staff live and commute from. Worthing is also a nice town and nothing beats going to the beach after work which is only 5 minutes' walk away.

As a Band 5 there are rotations in Respiratory (including intensive care, surgery and medicine), Orthopaedics, MSK Outpatients, Neuro and Department of Medicine for the Elderly. There are also opportunities to work in other areas as you progress as a Band 6. Unlike many large teaching hospital the team is of a size where all staff soon get to know each other which helps provide the friendly, supportive environment that we have here.
