Nadia Osman — Band 5 Rotational Physiotherapist

Cardiff

HCPC-registered physiotherapist one year into a Band 5 rotation, currently on trauma and orthopaedics after six months of respiratory and on-call cover. Started the post-operative hip and knee class that freed six one-to-one slots a week and brought the ward waiting list down to same-day.

Experience

Band 5 Rotational Physiotherapist, Cwm Aderyn University Health Board · August 2025 – present

Six-month rotations across respiratory, trauma and orthopaedics, and community rehabilitation. Carries 12 to 14 inpatients and takes the respiratory on-call rota.

  • Started the twice-weekly post-operative hip and knee class, which freed six one-to-one slots a week and took the ward waiting list to same-day.
  • Assessed and cleared 340 patients on stairs before discharge in ten months, with 3 fall-related readmissions against a ward baseline of 11.
  • Redrew the ward exercise handout into pictures and eight short sentences after speaking with 20 patients; day-one teach-back rose from five in ten to nine in ten.
  • Taught the respiratory on-call refresher to nine newly qualified colleagues, using the case pack written during that rotation.

Therapy Assistant (part-time, term-time), Tredowr Care Group · October 2022 – July 2025

Two residential homes, 16 hours a week alongside full-time study.

  • Delivered prescribed exercise programmes to 18 residents a week, reporting progress back to the visiting physiotherapist each fortnight.
  • Kept the falls diary that showed a corridor handrail gap; after the handrail went in, recorded falls in that wing fell from nine a quarter to two.
  • Trained 11 care assistants in safe transfer technique, which ended the home reliance on agency moving-and-handling cover.

Why this Physiotherapist (Band 5) résumé works

  • One year into a Band 5 rotation, the summary still leads with a service change, a hip and knee class that freed six one-to-one slots a week, which is what NHS shortlisting looks for beyond competence.
  • Patient safety is measured: 340 patients cleared on stairs with 3 fall-related readmissions against a ward baseline of 11 gives a clinical outcome, not a list of duties.
  • Pre-registration placements have their own section with caseloads, from intensive care to community rehabilitation with Tredowr Care Group, so each rotation area is evidenced before the first post.
  • HCPC registration and chartered membership (MCSP) appear as certificates, answering the two eligibility checks every UK physiotherapy post makes.

Physiotherapist (Band 5) résumé: common questions

How long should a Band 5 physiotherapist CV be?

Two pages at most. Include HCPC registration, placements with settings and caseloads, any assistant or care work, and a short skills section. NHS applications also need the supporting statement, so keep the CV factual and match it to the person specification.

Should a newly qualified physiotherapist list placements on a CV?

Yes. Give each placement its setting, length and caseload, and one result or responsibility. For a newly qualified physiotherapist they are the main clinical evidence, so list them under their own heading rather than under education.
