Paediatrics, hydrotherapy, amputee and cardiac rehabilitation experience is also available.

For all rotations you will have a nominated band 6/Senior to be your mentor and provide support, often there are Physiotherapy support staff that you work alongside and this provides opportunities for you to develop your skills of delegation and support. As a service we also have several rotational schemes at band 6 level offering great career progression in the future.

In service training and professional development is actively pursued in all rotations. Following a competency based induction and training part of this role also includes working at weekends and being on call for the respiratory service.
