Physiotherapist jobs in Sunderland: help us launch home visits
Launching
Launching in Sunderland. We're looking for a founding home-visit physiotherapist. When we find the right person, we start home visits in the area around where they live, and referrals grow from there.
Sunderland sits at the mouth of the River Wear, with Washington and Houghton-le-Spring inside the city boundary and Seaham along the coast to the south. Newcastle is about 12 miles north.
You'd work with us as a self-employed associate, not an employee. It's part-time, ad hoc work: you say when you're free and pick the visits that suit you, so it fits around another job or other commitments.
Who you'll be seeing
- People recovering after a hospital stay, a fall or an operation
- Older adults who want to stay steady and independent at home
- People with neurological conditions such as stroke, Parkinson's or MS
- People with joint and back pain for whom getting to a clinic is hard
In Sunderland, that might mean visits around Washington, Houghton-le-Spring and Hetton-le-Hole.
