Job description

Come and join one of the UK’s largest independent providers in neuro and mental healthcare. We proudly employ over 4000+ people - no matter what your experience, we have jobs for everyone.

Are you a forward-thinking Physiotherapist with neuro/TBI and respiratory expertise looking to lead and inspire?

Be part of something groundbreaking. Active Neuro—the soon to be launched, specialist division of Active Care Group—is redefining the future of neurorehabilitation in the UK and we’re currently seeking two highly skilled Physiotherapists to join our dynamic team at Nottingham Brain Injury and Neurological Care Centre.

These are pivotal roles at the forefront of tech-enabled, evidence-based neurorehab, with the opportunity to help shape an innovative, integrated service designed to deliver exceptional outcomes for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), neurological conditions, and complex respiratory needs.

About Active Neuro

Active Neuro is redefining specialist care for individuals with acquired and traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and complex neurological conditions. With significant investment across our services, we are combining clinical excellence, advanced rehabilitation technology, and a 24/7 therapeutic model to create the most advanced neurorehabilitation pathway in the UK.

Our approach goes beyond therapy hours—every interaction is therapy. From rapid pre-admission planning and structured inpatient programmes to coordinated post-discharge support, Active Neuro ensures every stage of the patient journey is consistent, personalised, and outcome focused.

At the heart of this model is our comprehensive Multidisciplinary Team (MDT), which includes consultants, nurses, therapists, psychologists, and rehab assistants. This team works together to deliver individualised, goal-driven care, supported by shared outcome measures and real-time insights from our rehabilitation robotics and smart therapy technologies. Our clinicians are empowered to lead change, embed innovation, and ensure rehab is not just delivered, but lived—24 hours a day.

Active Neuro proudly supports both NHS ICB-funded and private patients, offering rehabilitation for a broad range of neurological presentations and complexities.

We’re not just expanding capacity—we’re setting a new benchmark for rehabilitation outcomes, patient experience, and clinical excellence. If you want to be a part of this exciting journey, apply now!
