The Opportunity
Physiotherapy is an integral part of the therapy services within the Eden Academy Trust. As our therapy provision continues to grow, we are excited to offer a new opportunity for a physiotherapist to take on a lead role within the service.
This post is based at Moorcroft School, a specialist high school setting, supporting secondary-aged pupils with a range of movement disorders and additional needs. You will work alongside a junior physiotherapist within the school and will benefit from regular support and guidance from our Clinical Lead, ensuring you are well supported in both your clinical practice and professional development.
This is a term-time-only position - an excellent work-life balance opportunity for those who value a schedule aligned with the school year, whether you have school-age children of your own or simply appreciate a role with structured working periods and planned breaks throughout the year.
You will work closely with colleagues across the Trust and with external professionals, giving you the chance to broaden your clinical experience in a variety of special school settings. This role will both challenge and enhance your skills while allowing you to contribute to wider service development.

Assessment and delivery of treatment sessions
Equipment provision and review
Staff training and guidance

A varied and rewarding caseload in a specialist setting
Clear opportunities for career progression and service development
We are a progressive Trust, committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for our pupils. We are looking for someone who is passionate about making a difference and eager to play an active role in shaping and implementing our strategy.
