Summary
A Vacancy at Barking Havering and Redbridge Univ Hospitals NHS Trust.
Join Our Friendly Physio Team at King George Hospital, Ilford!
We’re on the lookout for a motivated and enthusiastic physiotherapist to join our welcoming team at Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals Trust. You’ll be working on the Acute Medical Wards at King George Hospital in Ilford, Essex — it’s a busy, fast-paced environment where no two days are the same!
This is a fantastic opportunity to grow your clinical skills in areas like cardiac, respiratory, and endocrinology. As a Band 6 physio, you’ll be part of a supportive and energetic team, with the chance to build on your leadership, communication, and management skills too.
We’re big on professional development — with regular in-service training, evidence-based practice groups, and access to external courses through our appraisal process. You’ll be supported by a Band 8A team lead and a Band 7 physio, so you won’t be going it alone.
We’ve recently updated how we work to better support patients, with a 7-day service model now in place across our Medical and Elderly Receiving Unit and Elderly Short Stay Unit. If you’re open to this kind of flexible schedule and want to be part of a team focused on top-quality care, we’d love to hear from you.
Think this could be a great fit? Got questions? We’re happy to chat — get in touch or apply today!
