Remeo is founded on improving the quality of life for people with complex respiratory ventilation requirements, through achieving the highest standard of specialist patient care.

Remeo wish to innovate every area of our respiratory service for the benefit of our patients and customers.

We have a wonderful opportunity for a Senior Physiotherapist (Band 7) with recent acute hospital experience to join our fantastic team at The Lane Fox Remeo Respiratory Centre, our purpose-built, state-of-the-art facility run in partnership with Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust.

Our expert team provides long-term respiratory support, both non-invasive ventilation and invasive ventilation, and in ‘weaning’ patients from invasive mechanical ventilation, at our specialist 20 bed centre – the Lane Fox Remeo Respiratory Centre, in Redhill, Surrey.

Here every patient is surrounded by specialist multidisciplinary clinicians who love what they do. Our team are compassionate and strive to always deliver the best quality patient focused care.

When facing challenges, they work as a team and with their families and carers to find the best solutions for patients.

We continue to improve the way that complex respiratory patients and their families are supported on the journey from a critical care environment, returning home or to a long term facility.

Our centre provides the vital step between dependence and home through specialist support from a team of Consultants and respiratory specialist Nurses, Physiotherapist and Occupational Therapists.

Our main goal is improving the quality of life for people with complex respiratory ventilation requirements so that they can return home.
