Physiotherapist

Do you have an enthusiasm for sports development and elite sport? Do you have excellent communication skills with the ability to build strong working relationships and networks? Do you have experience of working independently and as part of a wider team? 

In order to support our strategic aims, the University of Leeds is seeking to appoint a part time Physiotherapist to further the health and wellbeing of our student-athletes, staff and local community.  

The majority of the role will involve working in an MSK clinic environment with student-athletes, University of Leeds staff and members of the public. Another duty will be to provide pitch side first aid support to BUCS sports teams, usually on Wednesday afternoons. There may be additional possibilities to work with University of Leeds Sport Scholars and TASS athletes as part of the role.

This post offers an exciting opportunity for a physiotherapist to work in a multi-sport environment, alongside an experienced multi-disciplinary team in newly-refurbished state of the art facilities.

The post requires the ability to work independently and as part of the wider multi-disciplinary team within Sport and Physical Activity.

You will be a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and be registered with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) as well as having experience of working in an established physiotherapy setting.   

Although you will be based primarily at one of our designated sports facilities, you may also be required to work at any of our other facilities operated by Sport and Physical Activity.  

You will be appointed on a 1 year casual worker agreement and will not be a University of Leeds employee.  There will be up to 15 hours ad hoc per week available, term time only (30 weeks per year in line with academic calendar).    Please note that the total number of working hours available for this role will be variable and be dependent upon the needs of the business. The post holder will be required to work some evenings and flexibility will be required.

An Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is required for this position.
