Physiotherapist

The Physiotherapist is a key role within the Clinical Services, acting as the clinical specialist and overseeing the delivery and development of physiotherapy services for hospice in-patients., Working as part of the integrated teams on the Inpatient Unit, you will contribute to the overall care of patient and families referred to St Giles Hospice. As a team member you will contribute to a positive supportive working environment with an emphasis on teamwork and cooperation. Central to this is supporting the principles of interdisciplinary working and cross skilling for all staff, supporting each other, and learning together.

St Giles Hospice is a registered charity founded in 1983 by the Reverend Paul Brothwell, originally to improve the care of local people dyingwith cancer. We now support people in our community whose illnesses may not be curable such as cancer, motor neurone disease, heart failure, MS and respiratory disease. We also offer support for families and helpers.

Our dedicated team provides individually-tailored care either at the hospice or in patients own homes across our communities.

The range of specialist services is provided free of charge to those who need it. Although St Giles receives some funding from the Government, we rely heavily on donations and fundraising.
