Bishop Burton College is seeking a dedicated and skilled Sports Therapist to support our Girls' and Women's Sports Academies. This is an exciting opportunity to work as part of a dynamic team committed to athlete development, health, and performance.



The role will involve delivering high-quality sports therapy services, including injury assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation.

The successful candidate will be expected to work flexibly, including some evenings and weekends, and may occasionally support sports therapy provision beyond the female academies. You must hold a BSc (Hons) in Sports Therapy or Sports Rehabilitation, possess a pitch-side first aid qualification, and be a member of an appropriate professional body.



If you're motivated to make a difference and passionate about athlete care in an educational environment, we encourage you to apply.
