Main duties of the job

This is a post based in JCR services, and an exciting opportunity that will clinically support the physiotherapists in JCR. The role will include undertaking highly specialist clinical physiotherapy assessments and treatments to ensure the management of clients along rehabilitation pathways is efficient and clinically effective. You will also work within the wider network of Therapy Services, working in collaboration with other Band 7 Physiotherapists to ensure there is consistency and assurance across the services within East Sussex.

The ability to travel around the county in a timely fashion is essential.
