Job Overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated Respiratory Specialist Physiotherapist to join our large, innovative community-based team working across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland on a 12 month secondment basis.
This role will support the ongoing development of the Community Respiratory Service, delivering home-based respiratory assessment, intervention, treatment and support to children and young people with complex disabilities.
