Description

Movement for Life Physiotherapy are seeking physiotherapists to join our team in early 2026, with opportunities available for both new graduate and experienced clinicians.

For new graduate physiotherapists, we offer a tailored graduate training program that starts the moment you accept the role. You'll get assigned a mentor to work alongside for the year, with continuous formal and informal access to experienced physio's to help your physio career thrive. In addition to weekly in-services, new graduates get access to Footprint, a weekly education session to hone your manual handling and therapy assessment skills. And don't stress about excessive client loads - we ease you into the role with extended treatment times and plenty of support.

For experienced physiotherapists, there's the opportunity to take your career to a new level. We support professional growth across a broad range of disciplines including Sports Physiotherapy, Musculoskeletal, Cancer Rehabilitation, and Disability, as well as bespoke areas such as vestibular, headache and splinting. The clinic Directors are actively involved in areas of Physiotherapy governance, advocacy, and the APA locally and nationally, providing a unique opportunity to grow and develop your skillset beyond the clinic space.

If you’re seeking Sports Physiotherapy work, we offer the chance to travel with hockey to national underage competitions and internationally with local teams for the Malaysian Hockey League.
