Location of Post

HSE West and North West Region. There is currently a 1.0 WTE specified purpose full-time vacancy available for the post of Senior Physiotherapist (Medical Rehabilitation) in Galway University Hospitals.

Galway University Hospitals (GUH) is a major academic teaching hospital with a large Physiotherapy Service – over 120 staff across two sites, University Hospital Galway (UHG) and Merlin Park University Hospital (MPUH).

The Senior physiotherapist (Medical Rehabilitation) leads a team of staff grades and physiotherapy assistants providing a gym and ward-based rehabilitation service to acute medical and neurology patients in UHG. The Senior Physiotherapist (Medical Rehabilitation) also attends MND and movement disorder clinics in MPUH.

Physiotherapy services at Galway University Hospital include weekend and on‑call provision to ensure continuity of care and to support safe patient management and flow.

The department is a recognised Practice Education site for physiotherapy students. The Senior Physiotherapist (Medical Rehabilitation) will contribute to student education, supervision, and professional development activities in line with service requirements.

As Galway University Hospitals is a split-campus hospital, the post holder will be primarily required to work from University Hospital Galway, but will also be required to support cross‑site pathways of care, including service input to the Merlin Park University Hospital site, in line with service needs.

A panel may be formed as a result of this campaign for Physiotherapist, Senior (Medical Rehabilitation) from which current and future, permanent and specified purpose vacancies of full or part-time duration may be filled.
