About the Role
We are looking for a creative, innovative physiotherapist to join our team as a rotational Band 6 physiotherapist. This role involves working with children, young people, and their families with a focus on rehabilitation and enablement. Previous experience working with children and young people would be an advantage but is not essential.
Responsibilities
You will join a forward-thinking physiotherapy team based within the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People, Edinburgh. This post rotates through a range of specialty areas including:
- MSK inpatients and outpatients
- Community rehabilitation
- Respiratory including critical care and community
- Neurology
- Oncology
- Neuro-disability
- Burns and plastics
- Major trauma
The post holder will carry a caseload independently and may be required to work with children, young people, and their families in a variety of settings including their own homes, nurseries and early years centres, specialist and mainstream schools, as well as outpatient and inpatient settings depending on need and specialty area.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
