Join Our Growing Team at Medella Home Physio & OT

Medella Home Physio & OT is a private physiotherapy and occupational therapy service, dedicated to providing high-quality elderly and neurological rehabilitation in a community setting. We bring expert care directly to where it’s needed most — our clients’ homes.

As demand for our services continues to grow, we’re looking for an experienced and compassionate physiotherapist to join our friendly, dedicated team.

Why Join Us?

  • Flexible schedule — Set your own hours and enjoy a great work-life balance
  • Autonomy — Work independently while being part of a supportive team
  • Rewarding work — Make a real difference to people’s lives in their own homes
  • Competitive pay — Plus travel reimbursement for journeys over 6 miles from your home

About the Role

You will predominantly work with older adults, supporting them with a range of conditions such as falls, frailty, and deconditioning. There are also opportunities to work within your expertise in areas such as stroke rehabilitation, Parkinson’s, orthopaedic rehab, surgical rehab, respiratory, cardiac rehab, and more.

We aim to keep your caseload as local as possible, and travel reimbursements apply for journeys beyond 6 miles.

What We’re Looking For

  • A strong background in elderly and/or neurological rehabilitation
  • Substantial NHS experience as a qualified physiotherapist in the UK
  • A passion for delivering excellent care in a home setting

Essential Requirements

  • BSc or MSc in Physiotherapy
  • Minimum of 8 years’ post-graduate experience
  • NHS experience in the UK
  • HCPC and CSP registration

Common Questions About This Role

Is this a self-employed role?

Yes, all of our therapist roles are self-employed. You’ll be responsible for your own tax, National Insurance, and professional indemnity insurance. In return, you get genuine flexibility over your hours, caseload, and working pattern. If you’re unsure whether self-employment is right for you, we’re happy to discuss the details before you commit.

What areas will I cover?

We aim to keep your caseload as local to you as possible. Each role has a primary location and surrounding service area, but there’s flexibility — we work with you to build a patch that suits where you live. You can see the typical travel radius for each role on the job listing.

Is HCPC registration required?

Yes, HCPC registration is an essential requirement for all our therapist roles. Physiotherapists must also be members of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP), and occupational therapists must hold RCOT or BAOT membership. The role is subject to an Enhanced DBS check, which Medella will provide. You will also need a valid UK driving licence.

How flexible are the hours?

Very flexible. You choose your own hours and caseload, from as few as 4 hours per week up to 30 hours. We typically start low and gradually build up your caseload. Many of our therapists work around other commitments — whether that’s family, further study, or another role. We’re happy to operate 7 days a week, 8am–8pm, as long as it suits both the clinician and the clients — so there’s plenty of scope to fit your schedule.

Do I need my own car?

Yes, a valid UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle are essential. You’ll also need appropriate car insurance that covers business use. All our work is home visits, so you’ll need to travel to patients’ homes, care homes, and residential settings. We reimburse mileage for journeys over 6 miles from your home.

How do I apply?

Simply get in touch via our contact form, email us at contact@private-physio.co.uk, or call us on 01425 490151. We’d love to have an informal chat about the role first — there’s no pressure to commit straight away. If you don’t see a role that matches your location or clinical speciality, we’re still happy to hear from you.
