About the role and our team
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Physiotherapist to join our Medical Team on the Isle of Man!
Within this role, you will assess inpatients with a range of medical or respiratory conditions, develop and implement individualised evidence based treatment programmes and facilitate a safe and timely discharge from hospital. Day to day you will ensure the effective running of the team of medical physiotherapists and support staff.
You will work closely alongside other members of the multi-disciplinary team especially occupational therapy and will be the physiotherapy lead within the ward based NIV service. You will be actively involved in the provision of the out of hours on call service.
This role allows you to expand your leadership skills and develop others by leading in-service training to different staff groups, supervising colleagues and students, and identifying areas of service for development/audit, leading these projects with support from the team.

What can this role offer me?
By joining us you’ll be stepping away from NHS pressures and demands, as the Island’s healthcare system is similar but separate to the UK NHS.
You will have access to fantastic in-house training courses and leadership development opportunities.

As well as this, you will receive an additional pay allowance when taking part in the combined respiratory and orthopaedics on call rota and when working bank holidays.
Free parking will also be available to you at Nobles Hospital.
