Join the Physiosouth Team
We are a dynamic and experienced team of physiotherapy professionals, leaders in the field of physiotherapy as well as competitive athletes. We use our strengths across our different areas of expertise to improve client outcomes. We believe in a continuum of care from early management to complete rehabilitation and return to function.
We are one of the largest providers of private physiotherapy in the South Island. With multiple branches throughout Canterbury, we operate in community clinics within or near medical centers or in large modern gyms used for exercise and rehabilitation.
New Graduate Programme
We love to introduce our new graduates to their working life as a physio in private practice and take pride in helping to shape their professional careers.
Our new graduates are mentored for two years by one of the practising clinical directors of Physiosouth and are provided with opportunities to work closely with a range of Allied Health providers including hand therapists, sports doctors, podiatrists, chiropractors, and some of Christchurch’s leading surgeons. New graduates are encouraged to work with sports teams and we have a medic training program.
All new graduates get a chance to work at Sports Clinic, our flagship multi-disciplinary clinic as part of the Saturday roster. We have a structured monthly education programme and graduates also participate in monthly interdisciplinary clinical meetings, offering broad exposure to the wider Physiosouth team and to our clinical partners and their various areas of expertise.
