Advanced Practitioner Physiotherapist | York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

This is an exciting opportunity to work as an independent clinician within critical care, where you will assess, diagnose, treat, and either discharge or refer patients across a diverse and complex caseload. As an Advanced Practice Physiotherapist, you will play a pivotal role in transforming and modernising care pathways, working across traditional professional boundaries to enhance patient outcomes and support the wider medical workforce. You will be part of a forward-thinking team committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care in a fast-paced and rewarding environment. Be part of a Trust that values innovation, leadership, and professional development. Work in a supportive environment where advanced practice is recognised and nurtured. Make a real impact on patient care in one of the most critical areas of the hospital.

Key Responsibilities:

• Deliver expert physiotherapy assessment, diagnosis, and treatment within critical care.

• Lead on clinical decision-making, including discharge planning and onward referrals.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to optimise patient recovery and rehabilitation.
• Contribute to research delivery, service development and innovation in critical care.
• Support education and mentorship of less experienced colleagues and students.

If you’re passionate about advanced physiotherapy practice and ready to thrive in a critical care setting, we’d love to hear from you.
