Spring Together CIC is seeking a Registered Physiotherapist to volunteer with our GetFit Hub Oldham programme.
GetFit Hub provides free weekly physical activity sessions designed to help adults become more active, improve confidence and support their health and wellbeing. Sessions welcome adults with different levels of fitness, including people who may be inactive, living with pain or long-term health conditions, or lacking confidence to take part in physical activity.
