An exciting maternity cover opportunity has arisen for a motivated, enthusiastic, and experienced Paediatric Physiotherapist to join our inpatient therapy team on a full-time, fixed-term basis for 9 months.

This is an excellent opportunity for a dynamic clinician looking to further develop their specialist paediatric skills within a supportive multidisciplinary environment.

If you are an enthusiastic and experienced paediatric physiotherapist looking for your next challenge, we would love to hear from you.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.

We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.

We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as 'outstanding' for care and our King's Mill Hospital as the only 'outstanding' NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
