St Elizabeth’s Centre is a specialist Centre providing holistic care together with learning, leisure and other opportunities for adults and children with severe epilepsy, learning difficulties and complex health needs.
We are looking for a very special physiotherapist to join our busy multi-disciplinary health care services team operating on our 68 acre site which is home to around 240 residential and day users of our services. Our teams work across our specialist services within the Centre so the role is varied, providing professional support to service users in our adult services, college, school and children’s home.
