We are seeking a motivated and forward-thinking Physiotherapist to join our team in the Trauma and Orthopaedic department at Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust.

You will also be responsible for the supervision and appraisal of rotational staff and students, with support and supervision from an experienced Team Leader, Clinical Lead, and Principal Physiotherapist.
