We are looking for a therapist who has some hand and upper limb therapy experience already, but also happy for new graduate and early career applications.

We love that too and are happy to nurture and grow your career. We have leadership opportunities for those wanting to step into something more.

We are keen for someone with good skills in splinting and skills to assess and treat a variety of hand injuries and conditions.

We promise a workplace that will challenge and stretch you as well as care and support you. We are a determined and driven team, but we also know how to have fun.
