Trosolwg o'r swydd

This is an exciting opportunity to join a unique and specialist team in a largely Community based post, suitable for a Therapist (Occupational Therapist / Physiotherapist) or Nurse, working with Paediatric and Adult patients across specialist and Community Care environments in the East of England.

The role supports the care of patients with genetic and acquired neuromuscular disorders such as muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy and other muscle wasting conditions. You will support the regional specialist Neuromuscular Clinics at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge as well as Community-based Neuromuscular Clinics in other hospitals / clinical settings in the region.
