Specialist Physiotherapist

Job overview

We are pleased to offer an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and highly motivated Specialist Physiotherapist to join our evolving Integrated Community Stroke Service at Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Originally established in 2009 as a Stroke Early Supported Discharge (ESD) Team, the service expanded in April 2023 to become an Integrated Community Stroke Service. This development has increased access to high‑quality, specialist, community‑based stroke rehabilitation across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, supporting patients following an acute stroke.

The service focuses on enabling a smooth and timely transition from hospital to home, with the aim of optimising recovery, function, and independence during the first six months post‑discharge. Working in the community, you will deliver evidence‑based physiotherapy interventions that have a meaningful impact on patients’ daily lives.

You will join a supportive multidisciplinary team with a strong commitment to patient‑centred care, collaboration, and high clinical standards. We are seeking a Specialist Physiotherapist with a genuine interest in stroke rehabilitation, who is motivated by service development and keen to embrace a new challenge. This role offers excellent opportunities for professional development and the chance to contribute to the future direction of community stroke services within the Trust.
