What is a Physiotherapist?

Physiotherapists work with patients of all ages, from premature babies through to the elderly. A physiotherapist works to improve movement and function, and ultimately the quality of life of their patients. Many people may require a physiotherapy assessment during their lifetime, whether following an injury, to manage a chronic health condition such as asthma, or to aid recovery following a sudden illness such as a heart attack.

Physiotherapy is a wide-reaching vocation that puts the patient at the centre of all appointments. Physiotherapists take a ‘whole person’ approach to treatment, including consideration of how much help a patient usually has from relatives, the layout of their home and the likely progression of any injuries or diseases.

Working in a physiotherapist job role, you may be asked to review patients who:

• Need to regain confidence climbing stairs after a hip replacement
• Have an unsteady gait following a stroke
• Require chest physiotherapy to prevent infections associated with Cystic Fibrosis
• Have an acute injury prior to a sporting event.

No two days are the same for a physiotherapist, and there are plenty of opportunities to move between specialties during your career.

Physiotherapy Qualifications

A degree in physiotherapy is a pre-requisite to being offered a physiotherapy job. Physiotherapists must also be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). To be successful in applying for a physiotherapist job, you should be dedicated to encouraging patients to take care of their health. Physiotherapists work alone and in teams, so you must be comfortable working in a variety of ways. It is essential that you have excellent communication skills and have a caring and calm attitude at all times. Some physiotherapists undertake additional training to specialise in areas such as emergency medicine or women’s health.

Physiotherapy Job Salary Range

A physiotherapist’s salary will depend on their individual level of experience, any additional qualifications, and the location of the job. Physiotherapy starting salaries range from £24,214 to £30,112. Extended scope physiotherapists could earn up to £50,819, and consultant physiotherapists up to £60,983. As a locum physiotherapist, you can expect your daily rate to be higher than a salaried physiotherapist. Locum physiotherapy pay rates range from £18-38 per hour depending on your band and specialism. You can expect a higher hourly rate if you work weekend, evening or night shifts.

There are plenty of opportunities for professional development as a physiotherapist. Extended scope physiotherapists (ESPs) are highly experienced in a particular area, such as injection therapy or prescribing. Some ESPs can investigate, diagnose and treat patients attending A&E in the same way that a doctor might, for example. A career in physiotherapy can enable you to become a very experienced healthcare professional.

What does a Locum Physiotherapist do?

A locum physiotherapist job role will involve performing the same patient care as a permanent member of staff. Although a locum physiotherapist may work within the same team, and with the same patients, as permanently employed physiotherapists, there are some differences. Locum work offers flexibility; locum physiotherapists can choose the shifts that best suit them. For some, this may entail working unsociable hours and benefiting from a rate uplift, whereas others may select only daytime shifts to fit in with family life. In addition, permanent staff can spend months or years getting to know the wider physiotherapy and medical teams, whereas a locum may work in one location for shorter periods. Locums must therefore quickly build rapport with other team members and patients under their care.
