An exciting opportunity has arisen to join one of the most forward thinking, innovative and proactive therapy teams in the East of England
We have vacancies in our therapy department for an enthusiastic therapy assistant.
You will work under the supervision of qualified physiotherapists, occupational therapists and therapy assistant practitioners, to carry out rehabilitation plans and help facilitate discharge for patients on wards across the Colchester General Site.
Our Therapy Assistant staff rotate 6 monthly across a variety of wards in Medicine, Orthopaedics, General Surgery, Critical care, Stroke unit and Elderly Care.
The department provides a 7 day service and you will be expected to participate in this rota.
Please note, interviews for this post will take place in person, so if shortlisted you must be able to travel to Colchester Hospital for interview.
The closing date is 9th November 2025, but please note that we reserve the right to close the position early if we get a large number of applications.
You will be supported by qualified therapists, working within a competency framework and will be given all necessary training for the job. You will manage your own workload and participate in team and service development.
