• The ability to communicate and collaborate effectively with athletes, coaches and High Performance practitioners
• Team-sport experience and familiarity with athlete management systems, testing and physical performance environments will be highly regarded
• Postgraduate sports or musculoskeletal physiotherapy qualifications and experience with AMS, VALD and GPS will also be highly regarded.
