About the Role
Our Community Neurological Rehabilitation Service provides specialist assessment, treatment and rehabilitation for adults with progressive and non-progressive neurological conditions. Our multidisciplinary team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, dietitians, nurses, rehabilitation assistants and administrators work together to maximise independence, wellbeing and quality of life.
We support people affected by stroke, traumatic brain injury, MS, Parkinson’s disease and motor neurone disease, including those transitioning from hospital and those living with long-term neurological conditions in the community.
Care is delivered in the most appropriate setting, including patients' homes, outpatient clinics and community venues. We also provide therapy groups such as balance, exercise and fatigue management programmes. Working closely with neuropsychology services, social care, acute hospitals and organisations including the MS Society and Parkinson’s UK, we deliver holistic, person-centred rehabilitation.

Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
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.
Through a structured rotational programme, you will gain experience in Musculoskeletal Outpatients, Neurorehabilitation, Community Rehabilitation, Inpatient Community Hospitals and the Falls Service. Typically lasting six months, each rotation will help you broaden your clinical skills, consolidate your learning and explore areas of specialist interest.
Supported by experienced Senior Physiotherapists, you will manage your own caseload, develop your clinical reasoning and grow in autonomy through regular supervision, mentorship and development opportunities. Working alongside a range of healthcare professionals, you will deliver person-centred rehabilitation in both community and clinic settings, including patients' homes.
This is an ideal opportunity for a motivated physiotherapist who is eager to learn, embrace new challenges and build a strong foundation for a successful career. A UK driving licence and access to a vehicle are essential as travel between service locations and patients' homes is required.
