Band 6 Acute Medicine Physiotherapist
Acute Hospital | South London Exclusive Opportunity via Pulse
Pulse is delighted to be exclusively recruiting for a Band 6 Acute Medicine Physiotherapist to join a highly regarded NHS hospital in South London.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced physiotherapist looking to further develop their acute clinical skills within a fast-paced and supportive multidisciplinary team. You will work across acute medical wards, supporting patients with complex respiratory, neurological, and medical conditions to maximise their independence and facilitate safe discharge planning.
The Role

You will play a key role in delivering high-quality rehabilitation, respiratory care, and mobility assessments whilst contributing to patient flow and discharge planning.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
