Up to £35k pa FTE plus allowances (pro rata for part time)
An opportunity has arisen to join our Three Counties Hospice in Worcester as Physiotherapist on a permanent part-time basis.
What’s it like working here?
You’ll join a supportive, multi-disciplinary team delivering respite and end-of-life care to children and young people in their home or at the Three Counties hospice as well as provide support to their families. We tailor our care packages to meet each child’s clinical, emotional and spiritual needs and there’s time here to focus on clients – this really appeals to some people.
The hospice is purpose-built with individually decorated rooms, each overlooking our gardens. We try to make it as welcoming and friendly as possible – a home-from-home for children and their families.

In return
There’s so much scope at Acorns to learn specialist skills and we believe that personally, you’ll grow immeasurably. We pride ourselves on the development we offer – there’s a range of workshops and courses, both internally and externally led, to support your CPD.
We offer a competitive salary, 35 days’ holiday FTE, allowances for clothing and extra duties, and pension contributions; if you move from the NHS, you can keep your current pension.
