- NHS Agenda for Change Band 7 salary with an NHS pension
- Membership of My Reward Hub, giving you discounts on everyday purchases, plus cashback and voucher offers for treats and essentials

- Access to e-learning, bespoke career pathways and professional development opportunities through our ‘Outstanding’ Learning Enterprise team
- An open, just culture where you're encouraged to contribute ideas, backed by ringfenced innovation funding each year
- The pride of working for an organisation where the majority of our rated services hold ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ ratings from the Care Quality Commission

Alongside your clinical responsibilities, you will provide leadership and support across the therapy team, helping to coordinate rehabilitation provision and promote a consistent, person-centred approach to care.
