The role involves providing specialist respiratory physiotherapy across community and clinical settings, supporting patients with respiratory conditions through assessment, treatment, rehabilitation and self-management advice. Applicants should hold an appropriate physiotherapy qualification, be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, and have relevant respiratory experience. The successful candidate is expected to work safely and independently, manage a varied caseload, communicate effectively with patients and multidisciplinary teams, maintain accurate clinical records, and follow NHS policies on safeguarding, infection control and confidentiality. Flexibility is important because bank staff may be offered shifts according to service demand, including work across different locations and occasional weekends.

The Trust delivers services in patients’ homes, community clinics, health centres, schools and specialist facilities. Its work includes physiotherapy, respiratory care, rehabilitation, district nursing, sexual health, health visiting and other integrated services designed to help people stay well and avoid unnecessary hospital admission. CLCH works closely with hospitals, GPs, local authorities and social care partners. The organisation employs a wide range of clinical and support professionals and places emphasis on safe, inclusive, patient-centred care, professional development and partnership working. This bank role supports the Trust’s ability to provide flexible respiratory services when demand changes or additional cover is required.
The United Kingdom offers strong opportunities for physiotherapists, particularly in the NHS, private hospitals, rehabilitation services and community care. UK workplaces value professional registration, evidence-based practice, teamwork and clear communication. The culture is generally diverse and multicultural, with London offering extensive international communities, museums, theatres, parks and restaurants. Lifestyle costs vary considerably; London is expensive for rent and transport, while other regions are more affordable. Overseas physiotherapists usually need Health and Care Professions Council registration, proof of English proficiency and an appropriate visa. Eligible healthcare professionals may apply for a Health and Care Worker visa, although bank or temporary posts may not provide sponsorship. Candidates should confirm sponsorship, registration and employment conditions before relocating. Public transport is extensive, and the UK’s compact geography makes travel between cities relatively convenient.
