University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.
Job Title: Paediatric Physiotherapist
Contract Type: 6 Months Fixed Term
Purpose for Fixed Term: Sickness Absence Absence Backfill
We are looking for an enthusiastic professional to join our Paediatric Clubfoot Clinic. We are looking for applicants to have at least 12 months' experience working in a clubfoot clinic.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a supportive team dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for children and families.
As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.
We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.
Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 30% lower than London and 17 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.
We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
The successful candidate will:
Have a strong knowledge base in clubfoot management.
Demonstrate excellent communication skills.
Work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team (MDT).
Build positive rapport with children, young people and their families.
Be committed to delivering high-quality, family-centred care.
