Specialist Rotational Physiotherapist
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Specialist Rotational Physiotherapist will provide assessment, treatment and rehabilitation for patients across a range of clinical areas, which may include respiratory, orthopaedics, musculoskeletal, neurology, older people’s services and acute care. Applicants should hold a recognised physiotherapy qualification, be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and demonstrate relevant post-registration experience.

Flexibility, professionalism, compassion and a commitment to NHS values are essential.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: NHS nurses, doctors and allied health get a Health and Care Worker visa (about 3 weeks, no health surcharge); care workers lost this route on 22 July 2025.
Before you apply: Nurses, doctors and most allied health staff must be registered or licensed locally before they start: expect checks on your degree and licence, often an English test, and often an exam or an assessment. Ask the employer who handles it and how long it takes. Most pharma and device office jobs do not need it.
Watch for: Pay follows the NHS pay bands and is usually at least GBP 25,000. Nurses and allied health also need UK professional registration; care workers cannot be sponsored from abroad.
