St Elizabeth Hospice improves life for people in east Suffolk living with a progressive or terminal illness. Our work is centred on an individual’s needs, which means specialist support, whenever and wherever it is needed, whether at home, in the community or at the hospice. Through medicine and therapy we ease pain; we give life purpose and make life liveable.
We have an exciting opportunity for a Physiotherapist to work within our Ipswich based multidisciplinary team to provide physiotherapy assessment, treatment and on-going management to a wide range of patients with a palliative care diagnosis. You must be a Registered Physiotherapist with a minimum of 6 months’ post qualification experience. This post may require some weekend work to be carried out.
