Frequently Asked Question

How can I find employment in the UK having lived abroad?

We are the occupational group within the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy representing physiotherapists in private practice, and as such do not deal with employment opportunities within the UK.

For information on working in the UK it would be best to contact our professional body - the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy http://www.csp.org.uk/ and follow the link to Careers http://www.csp.org.uk/physiotherapy/careersfaq.cfm
or the UK Qualifying Programmes at http://www.csp.org.uk/physiotherapy/ukqualifying.cfm

Further information is available via email query from Elizabeth Carrington at carringtone@csp.org.uk or by telephone on +44 207 314 7840

Alternatively contact the Health Professions Council who regulate Physiotherapy and other healthcare professions within the UK at http://www.hpc-uk.org/

Non-UK Nationals can not work as a Physiotherapist in this country without registration with the Health Professions Council (HPC). They must carry out a period of adaptation before they will be given employment. The HPC will often ask them to undergo a two months adaptation and they will give advice as to who arranges this.
