Public Jobs

Don’t forget to keep in touch with the Physiotherapists and Physiotherapy manager from the teaching hospitals. They may keep you in mind and let you know if a job comes up.

Physio Assistant

Many hospitals also take on Physio Assistants which would give you a chance to get some experience in the area.

Harolds Cross, Loughlinstown , NRH  and others have taken on newly graduates in Physio assistant roles. Keep an eye on the careers section of the websites or else contact the hospitals directly.

Nursing Homes

Nursing homes offer a great source of potential employment and with an aging population this is an area that will continue to grow.  

Many of the larger nursing homes already have a physiotherapy service in place but many smaller ones and even some of the big ones won't be offering the service. Drop in your CV and let them know what we can offer them and you might be lucky!
