The Physiotherapy Teams at NCIC are recruiting Rotational Band 5 Physiotherapists for Carlisle and the East Cumbria network. Are you graduating this year and want to work in Cumbria?

The rotations cross acute, community and outpatient settings, giving broad experience and opportunities. Clinical supervision and continuing professional development are actively encouraged and you will be expected to take part in our in-service training program and respiratory on-call service.

At NCIC we have an ambition to deliver outstanding healthcare services to the population of North Cumbria. The Trust is committed to creating a centre of excellence in rural and remote healthcare with a wide range of community and acute services throughout our county.

Our 5 key principles demonstrate our belief in the delivery of safe, high quality care every time:

• Quality and safety at the heart of our Trust
• A positive patient experience every time
• A great place to work
