Full time
Permanent contract

About the Role

You will deliver primarily to students on our performance sport programme, as well as wider provision. With athletes on our performance sport programme presenting from a wide variety of backgrounds with varying needs, your understanding and knowledge will be vital in this role. A particular interest in Rugby would be beneficial but is not essential. 

An understanding of student competition structures would be beneficial, as you will lead on a number of NTU Performance squads, providing triage, matchday and pitch side training session support.

Working as part of a multi-disciplinary team you will be responsible for liaising with external partners specifically regarding the management of our highest performance athletes.

If you have any specific queries in relation to this position, please contact Shannon Day, Head of Physiotherapy via Shannon.Day@ntu.ac.uk 

For more details, please take a look at the role profile. We'll still consider applications even if you don't meet every single one of the requirements, so don't be put off if you don't match them perfectly. 

Proposed interview date: week commencing 2nd December 2024
