Due to ongoing service redesign, an exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated person with healthcare experience to join the Orthopaedic Therapy Team as part of the Pre-Operative team.

The Integrated Therapy Technical Instructor role encapsulates the best parts of being a Physiotherapy Assistant and an Occupational Therapy Assistant and equips you with the skills to offer high quality, integrated care.

Do you have good communication skills, the ability to problem solve and a passion for patient centred care? The Integrated Therapy Technical Instructor role may be for you


We offer support via:

We recommend that all individuals employed in patient facing roles, or those located on a ward or department where patients receive a service should be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.


The role of an Integrated Therapy Technical Instructor is fundamentally about supporting the provision of therapy services within the NHS environment, ensuring optimal patient care.

They will work as part of a therapy team and under the supervision of a qualified therapist, at times carrying their own delegated caseload of patients with non-complex conditions.
