WE’RE HIRING | FREELANCE SPORTS THERAPIST / SPORTS MASSAGE THERAPIST

At Katie Bell Physiotherapy & Wellness, our Sports Therapists play an important role in helping people feel better, move better and get back to doing the things they love.

From the runner with tight calves.

The footballer carrying a niggle.

The gym-goer who feels like everything is tight.

The client who simply wants to feel less stiff and move more freely.

WHAT WILL YOU ACTUALLY BE DOING?

This is a hands-on, people-focused role.

You'll spend much of your time working directly with clients through sports massage and soft tissue treatments, helping them feel and move better.

On any given day, you could be:

• Delivering high-quality sports massage and soft tissue treatments
• Assessing how a client is presenting and tailoring treatment to their individual needs
• Working with clients experiencing muscular tightness, soreness, fatigue and common sporting niggles
• Supporting recovery following exercise and sporting activity
• Using a range of massage and soft tissue techniques appropriately
• Helping clients understand what they can do between treatments to support their recovery
• Working alongside our Physiotherapists and wider clinical team where appropriate
• Building strong relationships with clients so they trust you and enjoy coming back
• Maintaining accurate client records and working within appropriate professional standards
• Keeping your treatment space clean, organised and ready for every client
• Continuing to develop your knowledge and hands-on skills

THE PERSON MATTERS MORE TO US THAN THE CV.

We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys hands-on treatment and working with people.

You might already be an experienced Sports Therapist.

You might be a Sports Massage Therapist looking to take the next step.

You might have experience working in a gym, sports environment or clinic.

What matters most is that you are:

Warm. Confident. Reliable. Proactive. Authentic.

Someone who enjoys talking to people.

Someone who can make a client feel comfortable within minutes of meeting them.

Someone who is fascinated by the human body and wants to understand why someone feels the way they do, rather than simply working on the area that hurts.

Someone who takes pride in their hands-on treatment.

And someone who wants to keep getting better.

OUR VALUES AREN'T WORDS ON A WALL.

EVERYONE MATTERS You notice people. You listen. You care. Every client gets an individual experience.

EXCEPTIONAL You don't settle for "that'll do". You care about the quality of your treatment and the experience you create.

AUTHENTIC You're approachable, genuine and comfortable being yourself. You build relationships rather than simply filling treatment slots.

EMPOWER You don't just treat someone and send them on their way. You give them knowledge and simple tools to help themselves between appointments.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We're looking for someone with a relevant Sports Therapy or Level 4 Sports Massage and a genuine passion for hands-on treatment.

You'll ideally have:

• Confidence delivering sports massage and soft tissue treatments
• An understanding of different massage techniques and when to use them
• Good communication and interpersonal skills
• A genuine interest in sport, exercise, movement and recovery
• The ability to adapt your treatment to different clients and presentations
• A professional approach to client care, hygiene and record keeping
• A willingness to learn and develop

Experience within a clinic, gym, sporting environment or similar setting would be beneficial.

SO, WHY JOIN US?

Because you'll be joining a business that's been part of the Sheffield community for over a decade.

Because you'll work with people who genuinely care about helping their clients.

Because you'll have access to a wider clinical team rather than working in isolation.

Because you'll have the opportunity to develop your hands-on skills and your understanding of the body.

Hours: To be discussed, with flexibility around the right candidate.

Pay: Competitive and dependent on experience, qualifications and skills.

THINK THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU?

We'd love to get to know you.

Please don't just send us a generic CV.

Instead, send us either a short video (maximum five minutes) or a written statement telling us:

Why do you think you'd be a great fit for Katie Bell Physiotherapy & Wellness — and why should we consider you?

07780685449

This is the only way we will be accepting applications.

Shortlisted applicants will complete a strengths and colour profile before a short Zoom interview, followed by an in-person interview.

We're far more interested in understanding who you are, how you think, how you work with people and why you want to be part of this team than receiving a perfectly polished CV.

Pay: From £12.71 per hour

• Work Location: In person
