The Role

Hampshire Cricket are seeking applications for an HPC registered MSK Physiotherapist for an exciting role within the Science and Medicine Department.

Working alongside 4 other MSK physiotherapy practitioners, the role would be ideal for someone with prior experience of working within the elite sports sector (especially cricket) however this is not necessarily an essential prerequisite for someone with appropriate levels of MSK experience.

• Assist and conduct physical profiling for all professionally contracted and academy players.
• Be familiar with and develop monitoring and injury prevention systems. 
• Assist in the effective remote management of players on franchise and international duty in combination with other third-party medical teams.
• Contribute towards departmental emergency care in-season mandatory training.

Hours: The role is predominantly based at Utilita Bowl, with travel to other venues for training or match days, as required.
