Allied Health Professionals

at Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust.

One fifth of our workforce are allied health professionals; qualified physiotherapists, podiatrists, speech and language therapists, dietitians, audiologists, paramedics, radiographers and occupational therapists. They are supported by literally hundreds of therapy assistants.

We work in hospitals, community clinics and patients’ homes to deliver outstanding care.

We love therapy

Rehabilitation is the jewel in our crown and we work holistically with our patients, supporting them to achieve their personal goals.

We believe in teamwork.

That’s why all our AHP services work together to get the best outcomes for patients.

We’re kind and respectful to each other, whatever our grade or profession. Our services are therapist-led, which means we can respond faster to what our patients need.

Don’t take our word for it! Just ask our colleagues what they love about living in Kent and working in the community.

A bit about Kent

Get behind the headlines and discover the real Kent. We’ve got hip seaside towns, golden sandy beaches, a cathedral city and breath-taking countryside. We’re a short hop to France on the ferry or Eurotunnel and with great connections to London you can be in the capital from most towns in less than an hour.
