A Career in Sport. A Team That Backs You
If sport’s your jam, you love helping people move better, and you're itching to grow… we should talk.
At Thornton Physiotherapy, we’re not your average clinic.
We’re a fast-growing team based in the Hunter Region — and we’re on a mission to raise the standard of care for everyday athletes. Whether it’s a weekend warrior chasing a PB, a young gun trying to get back on the field, or a busy parent just wanting to move without pain, we’re here to help people reach their personal best.
​
Here’s what makes us different:
​
-
✅ State-of-the-art dynamometry and force platforms for accurate, objective testing
-
✅ Exercise software that delivers personalised programs straight to the patient’s phone
-
✅ Onsite rehab gym, free access for all patients, so they can finish what they start
​
We’re growing fast, and demand keeps climbing — so we’re on the hunt for a like-minded physio to join the crew.
Someone who loves learning, thrives on outcomes, and isn’t afraid of a challenge (or a bit of team banter).

What You’ll Be Doing (And Doing Well)
As a Physiotherapist at Thornton Physiotherapy, you won’t just be clocking in and out. You’ll be delivering meaningful care, building trust, and helping people move better — one step at a time.
Here’s what the role looks like in real life:
Treating a Mixed Caseload with a Sports Focus
You’ll manage a dynamic mix of sporting and general musculoskeletal patients — from weekend warriors and local legends to everyday movers who just want to feel good again.
​
Delivering Complete Physiotherapy Care
This isn’t just “rub-and-run” treatment. You’ll provide the full package:
-
Exercise prescription tailored to individual goals
-
Patient education that actually sticks
-
Manual therapy to support progress, not mask pain
Getting on the Grass with Our Partnered Clubs
You’ll support our sponsored sporting teams with on-field injury prevention sessions, warm-ups, assessments, and recovery advice. Real sideline experience, not just clinic talk.
Presenting In-Services That Keep Us All Sharp
You’ll help fuel our learning culture by delivering regular in-services as part of our structured in-house training program. Share ideas, challenge assumptions, grow together.
Weekly Mentoring with a Titled Sports Physio
You’ll receive a minimum of 1.5 hours/week of protected 1:1 mentoring.
No last-minute cancellations. No fluff. Just real development in clinical skills, reasoning, and communication.
Pathway to Sports Title Support
If you're chasing your Sports & Exercise Physiotherapy Title, we’ll back you with structured mentoring, networking opportunities, and hands-on experience to get you there.
Staying Ahead of the Curve
You’ll be expected (and encouraged) to stay up to date with the latest evidence, tools, and clinical trends. We don’t just want good therapists — we want great ones who evolve with the field.
Professional Communication That Builds Trust
You’ll regularly liaise with GPs, surgeons, and sports doctors — writing clear, confident correspondence that speaks their language and ensures continuity of care.
