About the role

Kampala Hospital, where compassionate care meets clinical excellence, is seeking a qualified, patient-focused and motivated Physiotherapist to provide evidence-based physiotherapy services to both inpatients and outpatients while working as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Patients will range from those recovering from surgery or injury to those living with neurological, respiratory or musculoskeletal conditions, as well as children and women's health cases. Each patient requires an individualised assessment and a treatment plan built around their specific goals and circumstances, delivered with compassion and clear communication with both the patient and their caregivers.

The Physiotherapist will work closely with the medical and nursing teams, participating in ward rounds and care planning as needed, and will contribute to the hospital's broader mission of delivering quality healthcare that transforms lives.
