The role

🌟 Band 3 Physiotherapy Assistant – Children & Young People’s Community Service

Join a team where every day you make a real difference.

Imagine finishing your workday knowing you’ve helped a child take their first steps, gain confidence at school, or take part in play and social activities they never thought possible.
That’s what our Community Children’s Physiotherapy Team does — and you can be part of it.

We’re looking for an enthusiastic, compassionate, and proactive person who wants to support children and young people aged 0–18 across Manchester to reach their full potential. If you’re motivated by meaningful work and love being part of a supportive, fun, and dedicated team — this role is for you.

No two days are the same. You will:

Help manage and clean physiotherapy equipment and keep accurate digital records
Take responsibility for your own delegated tasks and contribute to high‑quality care
Be a valued member of a friendly, experienced team who truly care about your growth and development

You’ll be trained, supported, and encouraged every step of the way — with opportunities to develop your skills and career within a large, well‑established physiotherapy service.

We love showing people what we do — so informal visits and phone calls are warmly welcomed!
