Lead People. Lift Performance. Shape the Future of Physiotherapy.

Make a difference by empowering people to be at their best.

Vector Health is seeking an exceptional Head of Physiotherapy - a leader who knows how to build teams, inspire people, and elevate performance within a mission-driven organisation.

This role is ideal for a senior physiotherapist, lead clinician, or performance director with demonstrated experience in leading teams, managing people, motivating clinicians, and driving excellence across multi-site services.

“The Head of Physiotherapy provides strategic, clinical, and operational leadership across the organisation’s physiotherapy and other services including exercise physiology, exercise science and strength and conditioning.”

You will guide a multi-site physiotherapy, exercise physiology and exercise science team across two locations, ensuring clinical quality, operational efficiency, and a thriving culture grounded in our mission, vision, and values.

Why This Role Matters

You will be the organisation’s physiotherapy leader - responsible for culture, standards, performance, and innovation. Your leadership will shape how our clinicians grow, how our patients experience care, and how our services evolve.

• Operational coordination and workflow optimisation
