About Us
The Fire Fighters Charity offers specialist, lifelong support for members of the UK fire services community empowering individuals to achieve mental, physical, and social wellbeing throughout their lives. 

We are looking for an experienced Exercise Therapist to join our multi-profession rehabilitation team at our residential centre, Marine Court in West Sussex.  
 
About the Role

Designing and delivering exercise programmes and health and wellbeing activities, you will interact with service users face-to-face, over the telephone and online. After working with beneficiaries to understand their individual needs, you will develop tailored exercise plans, conduct individual and group coaching sessions and create online self-care initiatives, whilst constantly monitoring participants’ progress.
 
We need a passionate professional who can make a lasting difference to people’s lives and mobility, so you will require sound experience within rehabilitation settings, including proven ability to lead group exercise sessions on land and in water. 
 
We promote a healthy work life balance for all employees, and in addition to a competitive salary and benefits package, we provide access to a health care cash plan, Employee Assistance Programme and the Headspace App, should you need support during your employment.

Situated in the seaside town of Littlehampton, you are just a 5 minute walk from the beach, harbour and River Arun, and a short drive to the South Downs National Park. 

This role is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Services Check.
