Associate Physiotherapist

Hours: Flexible, to be agreed around the client’s needs and therapist availability

Contract: Associate contract, with the potential for further work

KT Healthcare is a family-run organisation providing assessment and therapeutic services across the Neurodevelopmental, Brain Injury and Complex Care sectors. Our team of clinicians work on a sub-contracting basis – they are highly specialist and deliver high-quality assessments, reports, and therapy sessions within a multidisciplinary team.

We’re looking for an experienced Physiotherapist to support an adult client in Ashford, Kent with complex physical rehabilitation needs.

The client has a tracheostomy and requires suctioning, alongside significant physical impairments affecting their mobility, positioning and ability to participate in functional activities.

Key areas identified include:

• Risk of aspiration
• Fair sitting balance
• Unable to stand without support
• Unable to weight bear independently
• Equinovarus alignment and limited range of movement in the right ankle
• Limited trunk and pelvic mobility
• Weakness around the shoulder joint
• Risk of self-decannulation

The role will involve assessment and ongoing physiotherapy intervention focused on maintaining and improving physical function, mobility, positioning, range of movement, strength and safe participation in functional activities.

Due to the complexity of the client’s presentation, we are looking for a therapist with strong experience in complex rehabilitation, neurological physiotherapy or working with adults with significant physical disabilities. Experience working alongside clients with tracheostomies and complex respiratory needs would be highly desirable.

At KT Healthcare, we are committed to fostering excellence in clinical practice and supporting our team to deliver the highest standards of care.

We offer:

• A supportive and professional working environment
• Access to group training and continued professional development
• Regular peer support and 1:1 supervision sessions
• Flexible working arrangements
• Highly competitive rates of pay
• The autonomy to choose your client group or caseload
• Potential for further work and additional referrals

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Physiotherapist seeking a rewarding associate role supporting an adult with complex rehabilitation needs, while working as part of a wider multidisciplinary team.
