• Growing the performance support provision, whilst also acting as clinical lead for multi-sport athletes.
• Collaborating with colleagues, students and partners to enable a high-performance university sport environment.
• Providing insightful reports to aid in programming, planning, team selection and decision making.

What you'll bring

You'll bring relevant professional qualifications in physiotherapy, alongside experience of pitch side physio support. You'll be comfortable supporting athletes, colleagues and stakeholders, building positive and trusted relationships.

Additionally, you'll bring:

• A degree or equivalent in physiotherapy, Chartered Society of Physiotherapy membership, HCPC registration and a recognised pitch-side trauma qualification.
• Experience of assessing and treating musculoskeletal injuries and sports-related conditions.
• Sound problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
