Start with the actual person specification

List the essential criteria and choose evidence from your own work or training. Use concise examples of what you did, within your scope, and what happened. Do not copy unheld clinical skills from the advert.

Describe your professional status accurately

Check the HCPC international application process if trained outside the UK. Qualification recognition and visa sponsorship are separate decisions.

Make your evidence useful

Physiotherapy qualification and placements. Assessment and rehabilitation responsibilities within your competence. Communication, record keeping and multidisciplinary working. Current HCPC registration or application stage. Do not include patient names, identifying details or confidential case histories.

Use this CV template for a real vacancy

This physiotherapist CV example is a structure to adapt, not a completed application. Choose the experience that best matches the advertised duties. Replace bracketed prompts, describe the setting and scope of your work, and keep dates consistent with your employment history.

A common mistake to avoid

Do not present planned training, pending registration or a team outcome as your own completed qualification or achievement.

Before you send your CV

Check contact details, employment dates and any qualifications. Compare your CV with the actual job description, save a tailored copy and inspect the exported pages. Remove all prompts and any confidential details.
