“If You Have Enthusiasm, A Positive Attitude And A Few Basic Fitness Skills, I Have A £22,000 per year, Fun And Fulfilling Junior Physiotherapist Position Just For You!
Dear Applicant,
First of all, thanks for taking the time to visit this site. It’s my hope you have precisely what I need in a junior physiotherapist so I can take this page down immediately, and put you to work in the fun and rewarding coaching position I have available.
Our Company
So let me tell you about me, my company and the coaching position.
My name is Roger Cleary and I run a physiotherapy, rehabilitation and coaching company called Liberty Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Ltd in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
My business is dedicated to helping women and men achieve their health and fitness goals via customised physiotherapy and tailored rehabilitation programmes. I would like to extend a further service to my clients.
Business is booming!
Therefore, I am looking for an enthusiastic, motivated, and energetic person to start treating, rehabilitating, providing fitness training and advising some of our current clients.
My studio is located on Kingsley Road, Lincoln.
We currently offer one-to-one physiotherapy, rehabilitation, personalised injury prevention training sessions and performance enhancement sessions. The premise is to educate, motivate and support men, women and teens to improve their health, fitness and wellbeing.
All of our clients begin with an initial assessment and a performance screening. The vision is they are then taken through a several-week coaching package, which can include manual treatment, exercise programme design, weekly training/rehabilitation sessions and monthly screening assessments.
If you are hired for this coaching position, you’ll begin with a training period involving observation, treating and rehabilitating our clients, and attending our NHS clinics Monday to Friday.
Bottom line: Depending upon experience you’ll work 25 hours per week incorporating treatment, rehabilitating, training clients and in house training at £22,000 per year. This will increase to 30 hours after 3 months and full time of 37.5 hours per month starting from month 7. You will be paid as an employee, and have the opportunity to move up to £25,000 (when you go full-time) – after your 6 month development period. My clinic offers a casual, fun environment, nice training equipment, and the opportunity to learn the inner-workings of a successful physiotherapy, rehabilitation and performance enhancing personal training business.
Oh yeah, I’m also very fair, respectful, and appreciative. I like having fun and having a successful clinic and providing highly valuable treatment and rehabilitation services. You will be compensated fairly, treated fairly, and I will certainly look for ways to pay you more for your efforts if they warrant it. I want someone who enjoys working with people and making a difference in the lives of others…because that’s what we do in my clinic.
Specific Outcomes
- Produce one (1) client testimonial every month
- Maintain a client renewal rate of 75% or higher – Yearly Assessment
- Generate one new client referral every week
- Actively participate in In service training – taking one session every 2 months

Overview of Outcomes
- Embrace new treatment techniques and philosophies of Liberty Physio and Rehab Ltd. You’ll receive in house training on new techniques that work and produce the results our clients are accustomed too. You’ll need to learn and incorporate these techniques into your repertoire.
- Develop comprehensive rehabilitation and fitness programmes for clients. You’ll receive coaching and training on our fitness system and programmes, but you’ll have the flexibility to incorporate your training style and knowledge.
- Tracking client progress. To ensure a client’s success in our programmes, you’ll need to track weekly progress, current successes and challenges, review client exercise log worksheets, and more on a weekly basis. It will be your job to hold a client accountable to his/her rehabilitation and fitness programme to ensure the best results possible.
- Maintain your own fitness. Having an interest in your own fitness or previous experience in the fitness industry is not a must, but if you do, that’s a bonus.
- Coach clients through various programmes. You’ll be responsible for weekly exercise sessions and keeping detailed weekly progress reports on the clients you’re working with. If a client is having challenges throughout his/her programme, you’ll coach and motivate them, and make appropriate changes to ensure consistent progress.

You should have a working knowledge of the human body (i.e. muscles, movements, functions, etc.), and be able to provide appropriate exercises for client goals.
- Provide ongoing physiotherapy and rehabilitation education. Our clients rely on us to service all of their health and fitness needs. It is your job as a physiotherapist to provide your clients with rehabilitation education on various topics that empower them to lead healthy lives forever. You’ll be provided with educational tools and resources, be expected to study them, and speak about them with your clients. We also spend time covering this in our weekly staff meetings.
