Job Description
SPECIALIST REHABILITATION COACH
Strength Physiotherapy

Join the Team Transforming the Way Strength Athletes Recover From Injury

Strength Physiotherapy is redefining what rehab looks like for lifters. We're a remote team supporting strength athletes through world-class, evidence-based coaching that gets them back to training pain-free and stronger than ever. If you're passionate about helping people rebuild physically and mentally — and want to work with highly motivated athletes — this is your opportunity to make a real impact.

────────────────────────────────────────

THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE

We are deliberately looking for a small number of exceptional people. If you want a comfortable, predictable job where you follow a script and coast through basic hours, this is not it.

Do not apply if:

- You want an easy job where you won't be pushed out of your comfort zone
- You prefer clinical gut feel over objective data and measurable outcomes
- Your programming approach involves copying templates rather than genuinely individualising to the person and their situation
- You need to be told what to do step by step — you wait to be managed rather than taking ownership
- Your default response to an unexpected client situation is to escalate rather than solve it yourself
- You struggle to hold clients accountable when they go off programme, ghost, or avoid difficult conversations
- You get defensive when given direct, blunt feedback and can't act on it immediately
- You're not genuinely embedded in strength sports culture yourself
- You're not willing to learn and use AI tools as a core part of your daily work
- Attention to detail is not one of your strongest attributes

If none of that applies to you — read on.

────────────────────────────────────────

ABOUT US

Strength Physiotherapy is a specialist rehabilitation team dedicated to helping people who love strength training recover from injuries and improve their performance. We deliver an evidence-based, world-class rehabilitation service akin to that which professional athletes receive — empowering lifters to regain strength, mobility and confidence and return to training stronger than they've ever been.

Our exclusively online coaching service provides individualised support to ensure a safe and effective rehabilitation process. We work with Olympic weightlifters, powerlifters, bodybuilders, strongman/woman competitors, and recreational enthusiasts. Our clients are highly motivated, bought into the process, and want results.

To apply, send your CV to alex@strengthphysiotherapy.com. If successful, the next step will be a case study exercise followed by an interview.

THE ROLE AT A GLANCE

Location: Remote — must be based in the UK
Start date: ASAP
Contract: Freelance
Salary: £45,000–£50,000 FTE pro-rata at full capacity
Hours: Approx. 15 hours/week to start, with potential to grow to full-time

You must commit to a clear, repeatable weekly schedule with specific days and times for client messaging, programming blocks, and assessment onboarding calls. Flexibility exists within this structure, but consistency is non-negotiable.

You must hold valid professional insurance covering remote coaching delivery and work from a location consistent with your insurance requirements.

────────────────────────────────────────

POSITION OVERVIEW

This role demands a higher level of programming intelligence than traditional in-person physiotherapy. You are not reacting to what is in front of you — you are preempting what is coming, anticipating client responses, and building programmes that account for what will happen, not just what has happened. That requires exceptional attention to detail, critical thinking, and genuine individualisation of every programme.

────────────────────────────────────────

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Assessment Onboarding
- Conduct 15-minute onboarding calls with new clients following their assessment booking
- Set up and guide clients through testing protocols on TrainHeroic
- Ensure all required data is submitted correctly before their results call
- Maintain daily availability to onboard new assessment clients as bookings come in

Client Communication
- Respond to client messages within 12 hours on weekdays — a minimum of twice daily
- Hold clients accountable when they deviate from their programme, go quiet, or disengage
- Utilise WhatsApp, TrainHeroic, Zoom, Claude AI, and voice/video notes

Athlete Management
- Oversee a personal caseload with twice-daily check-ins and regular programme updates
- Provide structured feedback twice weekly
- Track and document progress through clinical notes and performance data on TrainHeroic

Programming
- Deliver fully individualised programmes — not templates, not copy-paste
- Preempt client progressions, setbacks, and likely deviations before they happen
- Adjust programmes based on objective performance data, not subjective feel
- Build long-term development roadmaps with clear milestones for every athlete

────────────────────────────────────────

REQUIREMENTS

Qualifications
- Relevant bachelor's degree (physiotherapy, sports therapy, sports & exercise science, strength & conditioning or equivalent)
- UKSCA accreditation is desirable but not essential
- Valid professional insurance covering remote coaching delivery
- Must work from a location consistent with your insurance requirements

Professional Expertise
- Exceptional attention to detail in programming — the single most important attribute for this role
- Strong adaptation-led programming skills using objective measures to demonstrate results
- Comprehensive knowledge of strength and conditioning principles for strength athletes
- Ability to identify cases requiring referral or escalation
- Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting coaching proficiency is desirable but not essential

Technology
- Proficient or willing to become proficient with: TrainHeroic, WhatsApp, Zoom, Claude AI
- Comfortable adopting new tools — AI is a core part of how we work

Personal Attributes
- Exceptional attention to detail — you notice what others miss
- Independent decision-making — you solve problems before escalating them
- High personal standards — you are never satisfied with "good enough"
- Coachable — you receive blunt feedback, act on it immediately, and don't take it personally
- Genuine passion for strength sports — you understand this culture from the inside

────────────────────────────────────────

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

- Caseload of at least 30 lifters built within 2–3 months
- Measurable improvements across all athlete KPIs: ROM, endurance, strength and plyometrics
- Strong client satisfaction, engagement, and retention metrics
- Consistent, on-time delivery with zero dropped balls
